Needless to say, Dr. Swiggett knows his area of a specialty very well. I trust him in that regard. I think he should take a little bit more time in the appointments to actually provide a physical exam to assess progress made from physical therapy and to more carefully explain how the therapy has improved the affected area. Patients work hard to do the physical therapy and hope that the doctor would take the time to assess and better explain it.
