Dr. Swords performed a very successful surgery on my 5th metatarsal that had two fractures and was in three pieces. He answered all my questions before surgery and during a follow up visit post op. He is an excellent doctor and highly recommend.
Very pleasant and explains the problem to you.
I've been a patient of Dr. Sword's for 12 years and have had 5 surgical procedures - all corrected and good out comes. Best foot/ankle specialist around and excellent care from start to finish. Never feel rushed and have any questions, concerns answered by both him as well as his PA, Wendy. Entire office staff friendly & attentive. Highly recommended!
Pleasant and thorough
Dr. Swords is an excellent surgeon. I had multiple foot fractures and the results of my surgery were excellent. He takes time with you to explain everything. Would highly recommend Dr Swords.
Dr. Swords did a wonderful job on my surgery and he is also a very kind person. I am so grateful that I was referred to him.
He understands the bones and articulate about what is happening with both my feet. Can not understand all the big words for my bones but sure I will be able to use off my sparrow chart. Explains everything! “How , why, when”
Actually listened to my concerns and did a physical exam. Very knowledgeable and experienced. Highly recommend
Good communicator.
Dr. Swords presented himself a in very professional manner and explained x-rays, and other medical results so things were understandable. Explained options, doctors and I might consider in the future.
