Dr. Mahala Swart, MD

I’ve dealt with my share of frustrations at the VA. Not everyone you talk to is helpful, and there have been times I felt like I was just being bounced around or not taken seriously. But once I got to Dr. Mahala Swart, everything changed.She listens. She takes the time to understand what’s happening, explains things clearly, and ensures you’re getting the care you need. She was running late after spending longer with the person before me, but she still went over into her lunch for me. It was the first time in a long time I felt like someone at the VA was looking out for me and gave me real care instead of just pushing the pills the last guy had me on.If you're struggling to get the right care, know there are still providers who genuinely care—Dr. Swart is one of them.

As a veteran receiving care at the Conway VA Clinic, I’ve been genuinely impressed with Dr. Mahala Swart. She stepped in during a provider shortage and has handled a heavy workload with professionalism, compassion, and integrity. Many local veterans, including myself, have chosen to transfer their care to Conway because of her.Dr. Swart takes the time to listen, explain, and build a plan that actually helps. For example, when I asked about a prescription, she ensured the proper tests and safety considerations were completed before moving forward. She also encouraged me to change my diet—and I feel better than I have in years.We’re lucky to have her. I recommend Dr. Swart to every veteran I know.

My wife drove me to the ER with chest pain, resulting in Dr. Patrick performing a treadmill stress test. As one would imagine, the situation was already stressful. However, she made me feel calm, not rushed and talked with me as one would a friend.

Dr. Patrick, was the best experience I ever had with a doctor. She really took the time to hear what I felt and her knowledge was crucial to my recovery. Any one would be lucky to have her as a doctor
