Dr. Schwinger was my fathers cardiologist and recommended he have open heart surgery in 2005. It's because of him that my father is still alive today. (87) now... I can't express the sadness we felt after hearing the awful news. All I can say is that he was a gift of a man and I feel blessed my father had the opportunity to be one of his patients. Our sincere condolences go out to his family
