Dr. Swiggett was helpful and asked necessary questions to get to the problem.
Very thorough examination. Explained everything in detail. He gave me a set of exercises to do at home, explained other exercises I could do and also set up physical therapy sessions. His assistant and the x-ray tech were also excellent as was the front desk staff.
