Professional, polite and carefully attend’s to whatever needs to be addressed. Although a wee chat would aide to relax patient. Thank you!
Professional. Informative. Personable. I feel very confident having him as my surgeon.
great information I felt very informed about my conditionSome information was new to me and so helpful I feel encouraged
You never feel rushed when you are talking with Dr. Swords. I highly recommend Dr. Swords to anyone. looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate provider. Five stars all the way!
Good bed side manner. Explains what he sees in X-rays along with the best thing to do.
Always willing to listen to my questions and give his honest opinion on treatment options
Dr. Swords was amazing! And a kind man, too. He put my metatarsal back together from pieces like nothing ever happened. My recovery was smooth, no complications, I can function perfectly well. I work on my feet I was very concerned about the future of my foot. From what I hear from friends after orthopedic surgeries, no all surgeons are equal. I was lucky to have an excellent one.
Both the Dr. and the entire staff were very friendly and professional. Listened well and explained things very well. Showed concern and care.
Great knowledge and service!!
Super nice guy!!!
