I had the first appointment at 8:00. I arrived at 7:30 as the weather was bad I knew to leave early to be on time. I had the travel 90 minutes from St Simons. The doctor who lives in JAX was 40 minutes late. This is after my last appointment which was delayed by by 1 hour and 40 minutes. There is no respect or consideration for patients time. Shameful.
He could not be any better, plus he explained things very clearly so I could understand it. He also has a great sense of humor so trust him as I certainly do .
Excellent vist, extremely professional and thorough.
I felt comfortable with his diagnosis!
Always the highest respect for this MD .
The shoulder surgery was first class as well as his honest assessments. Great results.
I have textbook rotator cuff others missed it - I persisted - found a real doctor 🧑⚕️ thank you
Third post op visit with surgeon … happy with PT results thus far. Glad to have Dr. Swanson and staff at SOS on my side !! 😀🇺🇸🏡🩺🩻👍
Very informative and speedy
He listened to me about how my shoulder pain was and he ordered a MRI. I got a MRI two days after.
