Dr. Swords and clinical staff were great. Phone staff are not warm, engaging, or empathic, especially a specific staff member whose name starts with an L.
Dr Swords made me confident in the success of my upcoming procedure
Mike Swords is the best. Has taken care of me for years. Best in the business.
Dr Swords always takes the time to explain everything and answer questions. He is extremely competent and compassionate.
A very personable Dr. who explains everything well and takes whatever time is necessary to answer any questions. I was very fortunate in having him do my surgery.
Dr Swords was very friendly, engaging, and very professional and explaining the process to getting well again. That’s enough.
He did an excellent job of understanding what my problem was and explaining it to me.
Dr Swords listed to my concerns and corrected a problem that 3 other doctors missed! He is very knowledgeable. After 7 years, I can walk without pain!
Explains things patiently. Pleased with the surgery outcome.
Very informative
