May-2025
Tara was recommended by my physician and a PA … both I respect and trust their opinion. I was disappointed that she did not come back in to tell me what her recommendation were, but had the nurse bring a piece of paper with written advice and recommendations.
She was recommended to me by 2 of my attending physicians.

Dr Swim is professional, kind, patient, and fantastic in her profession. Her bedside manner is top notch and she is able to put your mind at ease before and during procedures. I completely trust her and and her staff.
