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. Swinton was our primary care physician for approx. 9 years. He recently retired, and I understand but am devastated. He always knew what was going on with us, he took however much time we needed with him, and always left with a smile because of how caring he and his nurses Kenzie and Lacey were to us over those years. He has the perfect disposition to be a family care doctor, and his absence has probably left others feeling disappointed, but I doubt anyone more so than myself.
