Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Swanson is truly the best PCP I've ever had. She is genuine and truly cares. Dr. Swanson also encourages me to be healthy without judgement or shame.

Great bedside manner!
Dr. Swanson listened to my concerns and seemed very empathetic. She let me ask as many questions as I wanted and didn’t make me feel rushed in any way. The only part I was a bit disappointed about was that she did not say what she thought may be causing the symptoms I have been having. She gave me referrals to other care providers, so that is a step in the right direction. All around, Dr. Swanson had great bedside manner, was easy to talk to, and made me feel comfortable during my visit.

She does not know what she’s talking about. Not a smart doctor and cannot diagnose correctly. I ended up with a tumor the size of a baseball and for 5 years she was unable to detect it. Answers your question with an I don’t know answer. Not knowledgeable and very inept. Had a physical and she said I was in good health. A month later I ended up in the emergency room they said I had a benign or malignant mass the size of a baseball. She let that mass grow that large without detecting it.

Dr.Swanson almost caused my death.I'd had pneumonia&was still feeling terrible. Chest hurt, nonstop cough,difficulty breathing. Such shortness of breath that it was difficult to walk a few steps. She said my lungs were clear, nothing wrong with me. Said chest pain was sore ligaments from coughing. She agreed to a chest xray. The xray showed worstened pneumonia & mass on lung. Admitted to hospital a few days later in critical condition close to death. 21 days in ICU. Chest tubes, dialysis +more

I have been seeing Dr. Swanson for many years. She has always listened to me and respected my input. She is difficult to get in to see because her practice is very busy and this is the only area I see that could be improved. Otherwise all EXCELLENT.

Dr. Swanson is my baby's pediatrician. I feel that she is up to date on the newest medical information and that she is confident in giving us the best medical advice. I feel very comfortable having my infants care in her hands.
