Dr. Swain is smart, thorough, and caring. I feel like she wants to help me, and is willing to do the detective work to help me get to the bottom of my health issues, which is a lot more than I can say for a lot of others doctors

Besides my PCP, this physician has been one of the most caring and attentive one I have ever had at UCLA. She asked me several questions, validated my experiences and personal knowledge, answered my questions, and explained the recent medical research in particular topics. She demonstrated her passion for what she does and her knowledge of her field.

First rate. Dr. Swain literally saved my life. Before I started working with Dr. Swain I was struggling and forced to take steroids every 4 weeks. She went to bat for me and got my medications changed. Since changing my medication regime I have not had to take the steroids since. Very appreciative.
