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.

I appreciate Dr Swim with his expertise in treating me!

Love him!
We've known Scott since forever. He's a friend of the family and I went to school with his children. He takes care of all 3 of my kids and will take care of the one in my belly, if he should need it. We trust him, and we know he'll do what he can! He'll try all avenues to make sure he isn't missing anything. I'm sure some people would think he's abrasive, if you didn't understand HIM as a person but either way - I think he's great and I wouldn't wanna go to anyone else here in Indy.
