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. Swabe is in with a group of physicians so if he is not available you can always be seen by another doctor and they are open 6 days a week. My son has seen Dr. Swabe from birth to teen years he has been a real life saver! I can honestly say he is not only a great physician but has became like a family member.

My children were very fortunate to have Dr. Swabe as their pediatrician. His willingness to listen, exceptional medical knowledge, and caring attitude are characteristics Dr. Swabe brings to every office visit

Dr. Swabe has been my three daughters' pediatrician beginning almost twenty years ago. I cannot say enough good things about him. We have seen him numerous times a year and he has always been fabulous in his treatment of the varied illnesses and injuries they've experienced. It is obvious he cares so much about the kids (and parents). There is a reason that a huge amount of kids in the Knoxville area have had him for a doctor for so many years. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Dr. Swabe prescribed antibiotics an average of 6 times in 1 year and Rocephin shots 3 days in a row multiple times. It was the first and primary method of treating every cold, viral accompanied with fever, respiratory illnesses. Absolutely no diagnosis or ruling out any virus infection before prescribing antibiotics - as soon as we would visit with any symptoms, he always prescribed antibiotics and overdosed on occasion. Now I know the danger of it in young children FYI Virus causes fever too!!

The office staff are rude and make it clear that your call is just one of many and that you will get helped if they have the time. My family has lived in several states and received impeccable service at our children's pediatricians office. What a disappointment it was to experience this lackluster treatment having moved to Knoxville, TN. The physician's scheduler and nurse are extensions of themselves and they should take notice when the overt lack of concern and professionalism are displayed.
