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.

Outstanding Dr and office
The Dr and all his staff, desk folks, nurses, CRNA, etc….were absolutely incredible. Soooo much better than other locations in the area. I would HIGHLY recommend.

Use at you own risk
My wife had been previously treated by Sweatt with routine Colonoscopies, and all was well. My wife has in the last year had concerns with upper GI. Sweatt's treatment was unreasonable amounts of pharmaceuticals vs a true solution to the problem. Here is the bigger concern with Dr. Sweatt's overall practice: Dr. Sweatt is in Network. He uses a Nurse Anesthetist that is tied to Teleios Anesthesia. Telios is a PLLC that is set up in Sweatt's location (Sweatt and Teleios share a contact phone number). The PLLC is out of network, but the Nurse Anesthetist is in network. They bill under the PLLC, so we got billed out of network. My wife's insurance worked out the charges to where we owe nothing to Teleios Anesthesia, but we are continuing to get billed ~$1600, even though the EOB and the Insurance company says we owe nothing more. The staff in Sweatt's office is absolutely horrid. They are unhelpful and do not return phone calls. Be very careful if you use Sweatt.

I'm disappointed.
Dr. Sweatt was extremely kind and friendly along with the anesthesiologist. What was disappointing was having to pay a $70 copay just to get my results. I have never heard of paying to get your results. I thought it was common practice for the provider to give you the results. The service has already been paid for and now I have to turn around and pay $70 for a possible 5 min conversation and then my insurance will be charged for an office visit. Very disappointing.

Unprofessional Office
This office is the most unprofessional office I have been in contact with. I was referred to this doctor's office by my doctor for a colonoscopy. I didn't get to schedule an appointment because the staff is unprofessional, and if the staff is unprofessional in my mind that means the doctor leaves a lot to be desired also. I was on hold for more than 2 hours over the course of three days and no appointment was scheduled. I am relieved for that. I contacted my doctor to inform on this unprofessional treatment and a request for another referral to someone else. I don't know how this office is still in business with this level of unprofessional staff. I'm happy that I didn't get assistance because I would like to trust my medical professional and I have no trust in this office. I hope other patients are treated better, but I won't recommend my family, friends or strangers to this office for anything. If they were to get a letter grade, it would be an F-, from this retired teacher.

Good Dr/Nurses, Terrible Staff
Dr Sweatt and his nurses were absolutely amazing when I was in need of an emergent procedure. HOWEVER his billing staff is RUDE, does not follow instructions, and will charge your card without permission and REFUSE to refund any amount of it back!!!! Normally I would rate him 10/10 for his excellent care but because of his billing staff I would give ZERO stars if I could.

try this doc only if you want to be ignored and wait weeks or months to be "called back" to schedule a procedure, which their own provider (you will rarely if ever see the doctor), ordered.

Dr. Sweatt is my doctor and I also worked for him for 15 years. He is dedicated to his patients and very intelligent. I noticed complaints about wait time but I assure you he will give each patient the same amount of time if it is needed. He is a good Christian man and an excellent doctor no matter how long you have to wait.

Had a procedure done at Dr. Sweatt's office. His team that he has built around him are the utmost professionals. Everyone worked in a synchronized fashion and made you feel at ease. Dr. Sweatt's explanation of his findings were explained in a way I understood and his bed side manner is impeccable. Great team and great doctor..... best care!
