Why did you decide to become a physician?
My best friend’s father is a physician, and I always admired his work ethic. Listening to his stories about work always inspired me to become a doctor and follow in his foot steps.
What do you enjoy most about being a physician?
I really enjoy working with a diverse patient population in the fields of gynecology and maternal medicine. Due to my patients needs I have extended office hours 2 days a week.
What is your philosophy of care?
I center my approach around my patients’ needs. I evaluate each case on an individual basis and proceed with the best interest of the patient in mind. My motto is healthy mom, healthy baby.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of the office?
When outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends and two dogs. I enjoy running, exercise, walking my dogs, trying new restaurants and traveling.
Dr. Schwab delivered my first (and only at this time) child. She was not my primary doctor. This did make me nurvous meeting her for the first time at such a volunarable time. My last tri-mester (cut short) was very rough and I was worried about a new doctor guiding me thru the grand fanial. Dr. Schwab was AMAZING she made me feel comfortable and my delivery went very well. Thank you very much!!!!
Dr. Schwab was my OB and all the time during my pregnancy, she was wonderful. I loved the way she treated me that I was scared to think that when the time came there was the possibility that she wouldn’t be the one to deliver my baby. Unfortunately I needed to have an emergency C-section but lucky for me she was on call and she performed it, I came to admired her because she made all the right choices and most important she was comforting during the delivery process. Thanks to that, my baby was born healthy but more that being a professional doing her job she was a human being doing the one thing closer to a miracle and that’s bringing life into this world. Thank you Dr. Schwab for being such an EXEPTIONAL person.
I am way past all the baby stuff. I am an oldie but a goodie ( I hope), I just started with Dr Schwab a few years ago and she is a sweety. Very caring and sweet. I think I may embarress her sometimes. She is a great doctor.
I met Dr. Schwab after finding out I had a fairly severe case of endometriosis. I have to say that I couldn’t ask for a better doctor. She helped me through the whole process and even was able to refer me to a doctor at Rush that was also really great. She is a caring and understanding doctor and Little Company is very lucky to have her as a part of their team.
