Scott A. Swanson, M.D.

I especially appreciated him, answering all my questions, and not rushing me

Very compassionate, articulate, and knowledgeable.

Dr Swanson has gained my trust, and surgery healing is going fine. My only critique is that I had to wait 20 minutes past my appointment time, when the waiting room was pretty empty.

Too hurried otherwise, ,just fine

Thank you so much for taking the time to figure out what was going on with my ankle. Thank you for listening to me,and HEARING me.

He clearly analyzed my problem and discussed the pros and cons of either ankle fusion or replacement as related to my specific anatomy.

Dr Swanson was straight and to the point, explained what was going on with my injury and gave me some advice on future injury prevention

The front desk was very pleasant. Very nice office. Dr Swanson was very helpful.Lookig forward to my next visit.

Awesome Dr he help we the whole process

Dr. Swanson is the BEST! I trust him 100%!!!

Dr. Swanson and his PA are kind, listen well and explain options for treatment. I highly recommend them.

Dr Swanson has been my orthopedic doctor since he was able to diagnose my foot/bone disease in 2015 (after 2 doctors and a different orthopedic “specialist” who wanted to amputate my foot and at least part of my leg)! I later called a third orthopedic specialist in Omaha who told me “if Dr Scott Swanson diagnosed you with Charcot Arthropathy, don’t waste the drive to Omaha!” He knew within minutes of getting the X-ray what I had (after almost 4 months of going to this doctor and that). From that day, he had a plan & I followed it to results neither of us anticipated. Every 3 months (& after a year or so he dropped my appointments to every 6 months) he would greet me and ask how I was doing, asking about me & my husband because he remembered us & small details very few people care to remember. His compassion as a doctor is top notch & his knowledge & skills are highly valuable & appreciated! He continues to treat me & my only regret is he’s not a GP I can see whenever needed!

Good Daughter

Dr. Swanson is very knowledgeable and

He is very straightforward and is an excellent surgeon!

While the diagnosis was pretty devastating, It was very informative and gave me much to consider and to make a decision on. I thank Dr. Swanson for being direct and willing to talk with me.

Very kind and knowledgeable!!! Came up with a plan that day!!! I am very impressed!!!

My issue was diagnosed right away. Two days of exercises gave me results. Thank you!

He is very friendly and willing to listen!

Thank you for taking the time to go over my MRI results and show me where the affected areas where it was talking about. That was very helpful.

Dr.Swanson and complete staff made today's visit very productive and worthwhile!

Straightforward.

Personable, listened, explained, asked questions for clarification

Very professional with many option to choose from for treatment

Versus considerate and understanding and professional

Wonderful. Dr. Swanson knew exactly what to do with my broken fibula. 😊

Takes time with you. Is very thorough and explains whatever is to be done. Presents the options to you for choices.

Really took time to explain all of the options available to my client.

Wonderful, very attentive. Good suggestions going forward.

Provided a frank discussion of my options.

I really like him glad to have him for my Dr

Great dr!

Good experience for the most part. Was such a quick visit, I was left with questions and had to call the office back for instructions.

For 8+ years I have seen Dr. Swanson for an ongoing bone disease and he has always been very frank, kind and knowledgeable. He treats me with respect and not just a number!

Very good bedside manner. Extremely knowledgeable. He did not rush any appointments, and took the time to listen to all concerns and answer all questions.

No complaints very good doctor that listens to any concerns you may have

Concerned, listened and explained X-ray. Relieved to have another f/u appointment for a new development.

Very professional and friendly. Very punctual on most all appointments.

Dr Swanson operated on my daughter's ankle. He did a great job and she is healing nicely due to his expertise. We highly recommend Dr Swanson to anyone with ankle concerns.

Due to the nature of the visit I don’t have much to report. It was a quick follow up and I found Dr Swanson to be kind and helpful.

Excellent! Staff is always professional.

I wouldn’t want anyone else sticking a needle in my ankle joint.

He fixed me! ! Total Trust! I’m back to normal. Best possible outcome.

He seems very rushed. He gives very brief recommendations and directions on next steps, so I always have to ask for clarification, and I don't always ask all the right questions because I'm not a doctor. For example, I'm told I should start walking without a support boot. But only after I ask does he tell me that I should transition over a week, increasing 2 hrs/day. It would also help if I was provided with a handout of directions - for the boot, for the crutches, for the cast... any of it.

I didn't have to wait and Dr Swanson and his staff were very nice and professional

Dr. Swanson was fine!!

After leaving the office I felt that I had wasted his time. He was short with his condescending words, stood most of the time looking down at me and seemed irritated that I was there with my questions. I will never return nor will I recommend him to others.

I was glad I could get an appointment right away.

Dr Swanson is not only a great surgeon - in addition he is a kind and caring physician!

Did not see Dr. Swanson. Saw his PA can’t remember her name . She did a fine job. Bruce

Dr. Swanson did an excellent job on a very difficult bone break.

I felt he wasn’t interested to see me,his time was very short as well his advice,I will say no he didn’t give me any advise as far as care and treatment,just felt to sell walker boot on me.just having too much pain now.

First, Nurse Jen was very helpful in answering some questions. And Dr Scott was his usual knowledgeable, professional self. Even though he stuck a needle deep into my ankle joint! 🙂

The best!!!!

He has done a wonderful job with my ankle.

He was courteous, concise, knowledgeable and willing to answer our questions.

Dr. Swanson has always been very thorough in each appointment, taking the time to actually explain things well to his patients and giving honest feedback. He truly cares about his patients, their well-being and health.

Very nice doctor, nurses & staff

He has always been good about explaining what is going on and what I need to do to heal probably

Personable and able to give me several treatment options

Saw the PA…she explained my problem to me very well and was very nice. Would highly recommend!!

He is helpful Dr and very nice.

Great doctor, Great nurses too. Glad I went with him over other doctor.

He is personable and direct. He answered my questions well.

Was concerned and very caring

Straight forward and explains things very well.

Very professional, answered all my questions. I am improving.

Very pleased. His recommendations and treatment allow me to stay active as I grow older.

Everyone was very nice!!

Dr. Swanson always gets me back up on my feet!

Wish he would have been more forth coming about what might have been my problem. Told me what it wasn't but not what it might be

Great to work with!

Great Patient care, it was a pleasure having him as my specialist

Dr. Swanson is an easy going person, treats you politely, his explanations are easy to understand, very professional. However, he is always in a rush, 10 minutes average per visit, sometimes not enough time to ask question and get clarification on certain concerns. Dr. needs to consider that sometimes it's a long time between each visit, and if all questions and concerns are not correctly addressed, the patient could be following an incorrect treatment when the correct and/or complete information is not given to the patient, due to the lack of time destined for the visit. For my own treatment, I have done my own research for treatments, recommended exercises, etc. In the end the doctor confirms it was good an accurate to follow those recommendations, but I guess this should have come from the doctor, not from my own research. Again, not enough time for advising the patient all the alternatives.

Dr Swanson is a great doctor. He is personable and talks to you so you understand.

I always have to see a PA when I asked for an appt with the doctor. When I did see the Dr he seemed to be in a hurry.

Caring and friendly. Explains things real good. Not in a hurry.

Professional and caring!

Great staff

Appointment was fast and efficient ! Dr Swanson was knowledgeable, sincere. and gave me alot to consider towards my treatment

Thank you for helping me with finding out what’s wrong with my toe

Very through assessment

The medical staff and Dr. Swanson are very knowledgeable, professional and

Dr. Swanson was thorough and so kind and took the time to listen to my concerns.

Professional and compassionate.

Made a quick decision to minor surgery to shave down some on my left foot to alleviate a painful callous. Did similar surgery about 3 years ago on different location on same foot. Greatly appreciate his expertise.

Listened to my issues, asked question and had a good plan to remedy my problems

I enjoy having Dr. Swanson as my surgeon. He's wonderful at explaining procedures, answering questions and follow up. He made my experience with 2 foot surgeries better than expected.

Staff was time efficient and thorough!

There isn’t enough space for me to say how much Dr. Swanson did for me! It has completely changed my life back to a sense of normalcy after being through other doctors who just couldn’t get it accomplished and didn’t hear me or get to know me or my lifestyle. The 5 hour drive was 1000% worth it!!

Dr. Swanson understands his craft well and always serves his patients with the highest level of confidence we look for in a Doctor. He has helped me stay in tune with my body. Thanks

Very efficient.

He and his staff are very professional. They listen to me and answered all my questions. Very friendly.

Efficient and warm visit!

Dr. Swanson is very good at listening to patient's questions and explaining procedure before surgery

He is excellent!

The dr was great but he suggested some strengthening g exercises and I was handed a piece of paper with diagrams from the assistant with no explanation of how todo it. I guess I’m used to being shown things like this. That disappointed me.

Very professional and gave me options on treatments

Definetly recommend, he is knowledgeable,caring and thorough he does not make feel rushed and takes time answering your questions with compassion and concern.

Best around!!

I was so pleased with my first time visit with Dr. Swanson! I feel I’m in good hands now!!! All his staff was very nice and professional! Highly recommend!!!

It was a short notice appt. request,and he was able to get me in, and still took his time to listen and help me even though it was in between patience

I’ve undergone several foot surgeries performed by Dr. Swanson. He is remarkably talented and very experienced. I highly recommend him!

Very informative, very helpful. It was a great visit.

Excellent Dr. good service

Very professional and helpful

Explained things very well.

If you need surgery on your foot/ankle Dr. Swanson is the person you want to do it. Both my Achilles were destroyed from bone spurs and Dr Swanson fixed both of them so I could live without pain. Thank you

Dr.Swanson and his staff were wonderful!! Great bunch of medical professionals!!

He was wonderful. Really made me feel that he cared and would get to the bottom of my problem that has been going on for 2 yrs

This is the second time I have had a visit with Dr. Swanson. Both times he was extremely professional. He listened to me closely and we had a very good discussion about my foot (toe) and what the best way to proceed was. We went ahead with the injection that he/we decided on; things went well. I haven't gone out to do my workout yet, but I'm confident that the pain that I was experiencing will be gone. To sum up: Dr. Swanson was excellent. His co-workers who helped me were also excellent.

I have had 5 surgeries on my ankle after a car accident. Dr. Swanson is the only doctor who has truly listened to me about the pain I’m in after the last 2 surgeries (somewhere else). He was confident he could revise my surgery and make the pain I’m in bearable. For those reasons, I am driving 4.5 hours from home to his office for surgery and after care.

Very good, in and out fast Thank- You Bonnie Novak😎

Great service, explains well, quick surgery. Most importantly he runs on time appointments - for the working class.

I met with one of Dr Swansons PAs and she was awesome. She was very professional, friendly, and helpful. She answered my questions and helped me understand what I was concerned about. Thank you!!

He explained the problem very well. He was very professional and showed compassion.

Very informative. Took time to describe things so I understand.

Is upfront with patient

He looked at x-rays and explained what was going on. Made sure I understood.

Had bunion/hammertoe surgery last year & returned again this year for the same surgery on my other foot. I am a nurse & work long hours on my feet. I am very satisfied & I highly recommend. As a nurse,I have been asked numerous times who performed my surgery. I even had one person take a picture of Dr Swanson’s business card!

Dr. Swanson took time to explain my injury and didn't just want to do surgery

Dr. Swanson continues to treat me with respect, honesty and caring. I put my faith in him to perform my upcoming surgery and guide me through the recovery process.

I believe Dr. Swanson is very a knowledge young man. He is very observant when walking and truly listens to you.

Dr. Swanson is very polite and always concerned.

Dr Swanson took my concerns very seriously and efficiently.

Dr. Swanson work with me to ensure that I would be in a position to manage my livestock. So appreciated!

He was thorough and explained what I could be doing to improve the pain.

Very kind and considerate. Listens to me and is very clear on what's going on. I can't say enough about how great Dr. Swanson is. You'll love him.

Dr. Swanson is totally focused on what is right for the patient. He gives you his opinion backed by the x-rays in an honest and compassionate manner. He makes his recommendation, gives you a chance to explore and discuss with your other doctors before a final decision is made to go forward with surgery. It was not the words I wanted to hear but I have total faith in Dr. Swanson’s expertise and skill.

Really really cares. Great man and doctor. I think the world of him.

Dr. Swanson was professional and personable. He did not "talk down" to me as some doctors have and I did not feel like he was rushing to get done with me but spent the time to answer all my questions.

He’s excellent. I have full confidence in him.

Only problem I had was waiting for over 45 minutes to see his PA for my appointment

Saw PA she was good.

It's been almost five years since I hobbled into Dr. Swanson's office after seeing three previous doctors with no answers. Within five minutes, Dr. Swanson had me diagnosed and was presenting me with a care plan!

He was very thorough and competent. My stem cell procedure wasn't painful but I was nervous. His professionalism helped me focus and he talked with me, helping me with breathing through the nervousness. I expect a very good result.

Was on time and knew what he was talking about

Dr. Swanson was very personable and easy to talk to. He listened and explained things well.

Dr Swanson is the best. He is very caring and listens and wants to do what is best and comfortable for the patient. Absolutely the best. Thank you

Thorough, prompt, gives good explanations with compassionate care

I feel Dr Swanson listens to my concerns and wants to get the same results I am. He is a good surgeon.

Understanding

Dr. Swanson is excellent in his care & examining me. He is a good listener & takes fantastic care of me.

Outstanding!!! This doc is an actual expert. I've only had to see him twice (a decade apart) and both times he's hit it out of the park with his diagnosis when other docs were left guessing. His bedside manner is quite pleasant too.

He is the greatest!

Dr Swanson and his team were detailed in explanation of my injury.
