Very polite, and professional. Took his time to listen, examined my arm and shoulder. He knew excatly what was wrong. Treated me for it, and my arm feels so much better. I can move it freely without pain now..
First Dr Swanson is an awesome surgeon. He listens to his patients and encourages them to continue with your physical therapy at home. I will recommend him to everyone that I know.
Outstanding!! Dr Swanson gave me a legitimate Pros and Cons of my medical situation. I decided to go based on on his experience and advice of just waiting it out to see if another treatment will work. Thank you!!
Doug, once I was done a great job repairing my shoulder. I would definitely recommend him in the Team of Southeast orthopedics to anyone for any orthopedic issue.
45 minute wait for a 5-minute visit.
Explain my MRI results and what options I had very well.
He is just awesome
The best doctor, Thanks
