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.

Very Condescending
I read through my medical notes and found her to be condescending and judgemental. She called me a very poor historian, yet a sophisticated speaker. I was up for 36 hours before I went to her office and was extremely tired after airport transfers, etc. I waited in her office for over 1 hour and just couldn't remain awake much longer. She recommended a mental health appointment, yet I told her that I have never been a mental patient. She jumps to conclusions and doesn't trust anything that you say. I told her that I was allergic to sulfa drugs, but she placed me on one anyhow for diabetes. I'm very concerned about this lack of care and compassion for others.

Compassionate
I am very lucky that my other doctor left the practice and was replaced with Dr. Sweeney. She is compassionate and listens, which is more than I can say for most other doctors. Also, she recommends things I can do to prevent other problems.

She is wonderful and I am so sorry she moved to the Henderson location. It is now too far for me to drive. She listens and takes the time to explain things when I don't understand. Very supportive and does not hesitate to listen to my own thoughts.

She doesn't treat the problem you are actually having, and that you can see, rather wants to send you for testing for what she believes might me causing the problem. Shouldn't you treat what you can see and not go after the unknown? If you can see swelling and redness why not treat that why go for a test that is unrelated to what you are complaining about. Doesn't make sense to me... Fix the problem at the moment that is causing the discomfort, before starting to look for other problems, which may or may not show anything. Also do not like being told I can go into hospice care... I am not ready to die at the moment. I need a doctor that cares, not one who acts like she cares but isn't doing anything to get me better.

Very caring physician, devotes the necessary time and her full attention during the office visit, inquiring about all possible angles and needs. And takes care of everything, paliative and preventive as one.

I would not recommend this doctor. She lacks compassion and is inflexible. And quite honestly how can she provide advice if she isn't willing to listen to her patient's symptoms and experiences? Given her temperament I question whether she really wants to be a doctor or should be for that matter.

Zero Stars. My mother has been with her over a yr and the first time she met her she was really nice. But, not now. She has only seen her two more times after that due to her "busy" schedule. She stated she should see a head doctor due to making up the pain she The Doc wouldn't prescribe her any pain meds. When the nurse told her she didn't want to see a head Doc the Doctor stated, She's just drama.Not realizing my Mom was standing behind her. What bedside manner. She needs to be reviewed..

Wonderful, thorough, balanced approach to total health and wellness from a brilliant physician. She was coaching nutrition, excercise, fish oil, meditation while prescribing necessary medication. Her PA is excellent also. If you truly want to be "healthy" and are willing to listen and follow her advice, she will help you tremendously. I was dealing with PTSD, depression, men's health concerns. I followed her instructions including my diet, and I am a new man. Thanks Dr. Sweeney and Ashley.

DO Sweeney (DO-S) has a no narcotics philosophy (incl. Tylenol #3, aka acetaminophen with codeine). I saw DO-S to address the high level of calcium in my blood, my recurrent painful kidney stone problem, and to f/u re: blood work to determine a cause. Oh & the Tylenol #3 RX. I got 20 mins. of intense no narcotics speech (which I respected in the beginning) & then she told me that she may not be the right Dr. for me. I left with a headache & an RX for Diclofenac (which treats arthritis)?!? :/

She is nice but nice does not cut it. She is not a MD nor a Cardiologist, or a Psychiatrist. She is a DO and she does not listen. She says Xanax is addictive I agree but then she describes codeine and other addictive drugs.
