Dr Swain is wonderful! She was thorough, brought me up to date on recent developments re: my prescription drugs, and took time to answer all my questions, as well as to offer different solutions so that I could make an informed decision. Plus, she’s very easy to talk to. I could not ask for more - Dr Swain is the best!

I feel so lucky to have the doctors I have. Dr. Swain was as always as thorough as could be, explained everything and so willing to take the time that I mentioned something I otherwise would not have which turned out to be quite important. She always goes above and beyond, whether it’s just during my visits or advocating for me with insurance companies.
