Dr. Swim is an excellent doctor! She actually took the time to explain to me the results of the test which she administered. I would give her 10 stars if that choice was available.

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.
