Doctor Swim is a great doctor!

She was incredibly compassionate and thorough! I felt heard and she made sure I understood everything. Not every doctor does that!

Very articulate, professional, and takes time with her patient to explain, examine, and discuss options for care.

Dr. Swim is always prepared on my case, thinks outside the joint, and values quality of life. If people considering medicine as a career need to see a work style to emulate, she’d be the one.

She does her job. I feel she can have more empathy. I know it's politics,but that doesn't make it right.

A delightful individual to converse with. This was my initial visit, and I was uncertain about what to anticipate; however, I believed that I would be visiting for one specific purpose. However, the outcome was entirely different, and I am grateful for her willingness to provide a detailed explanation.
