Dr. Herbert S. Schwartz,
Vanderbilt University Hospital
Orthopaedic/Oncologist
Professor,
Director, Division of Musculoskeletal Oncology
Vice Chairman, Research
Office:(615)343-8612
Fax:(615)343-1028

Dr. Schwartz and Dr. Holt worked as a team during my hemipelvectomy.  He is a kind man with a sense of humor. His office number hosts his administrative assistant, Marla Holderby, and I was always able to either speak to her the day I called or e-mail her and receive a response that same day, or at the very latest the next at marla.holderby@vanderbilt.edu.  Sometimes I was even able to e-mail him directly and receive a response.  He trained at Chicago University Hospitals and the Mayo Clinic.  I would highly recommend him.

These guys tag-teamed my diagnosis and surgery. I usually see Dr. Ginger Holt on my follow-up visits. Vanderbilt has a great orthopedic oncology program and I highly recommend these doctors!

Ditto Jimmy.  Dr. Ginger Holt and Dr. Herbert Schwartz did my hemipelvectomy.  She is more personable than he, but they are great sarcoma specialists.
