I was scared and I was a little worried because my mommy talks about how it works. So all the people were nice. The Tech was nice and gental. The Dr. was friendly and very meticulus with me, I'm glad that I have a mom that works here. Iris, Laura, Cathy, Elaine, and my mommy aka Jacky are the best. Jazmin A.

More about Dr. Andrew Swan, MD, FACS
Andrew P. Swan, MD is an ophthalmologist specializing in cataract and lens implant surgery as well as comprehensive eye care. He joined the Eye Center in 2006. He is a clinical instructor for the Yale University School of Medicine in the department of Ophthalmology.
Dr. Swan received his BA in English at Cornell University before completing his MD at the State University of New York at Buffalo, where he graduated cum laude. His internship was spent at the Hospital of St. Raphael in New Haven, CT, and he completed his residency in ophthalmology at the Yale Eye Center, Yale University School of Medicine, where he served as Chief Resident during his final year.
Dr. Swan is a member of numerous academic honor societies, including Alpha Omega Alpha and Phi Beta Kappa. He was given the 2006 Marvin L.

I had a great visit. I made a mistake on scheduled date and came in when I wasn't supposed to. They still made time to see me and were so kind and patient. I highly recommend for anyone to come here.
