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. Swartwood takes extremely good care of my Dad, is generous with his time, is astute and kind.

At first he seemed nice and caring though he did interrupt me quite often and I had to repeat myself till he got what I was trying to say. Now as time goes by I'm thinking of finding another doctor. On my last visit he was flustered and barely paid attention, let alone time with me. He jokes around with his staff too much. Speaking of his staff . . . the response time in answering refill requests is far from prompt and getting a return answer for voicemail messages is often in non-existent.
