Very good listener and addresses all concerns. Willing to do testing and try different methods to resolve problems - not just speculating.
I appreciate that the doctor was able to see me so quickly and help diagnose my issue. The office is always pleasant and helpful.

Verified patient
This is the worst and most unprofessional practitioner’s office I have ever been to. I had a serious medical emergency that was blatantly disregarded. She was rude, made me feel like I was just an annoyance to her and completely ignored my very valid concerns to the detriment of my health. The staff was also openly discussing and mocking other patients. I could hear them from the room, where I waited over an hour to be seen. I would strongly suggest you find another office that cares about you, because this is not it.
Verified patient
Dr Swegler is an outstanding GP.
I totally forgot my Doctors note and was told to drive back to the office to pick it up. I live in Kyle, TX. This was extremely disappointing and seemed like the lady on the phone was not helpful.
Verified patient
Very good listener and addresses all concerns. Willing to do testing and try different methods to resolve problems - not just speculating.
I appreciate that the doctor was able to see me so quickly and help diagnose my issue. The office is always pleasant and helpful.

Verified patient
Dr. Swegler was very thorough and answered every question I had making sure I understood. She took time to address my concerns without belittling them. All the staff was professional and friendly, ensuring that I understood the paperwork and information for my follow up.
Verified patient
The office was kind of cluttered. The wait was long, and when she took the time to see me she was in and out in about 5 minutes. Was looking for a new family practice and this will not be the one.
A little bit of a wait time, but it was very worth it for the level of care I received. The staff there were great and very thorough. Dr. Swegler was very thorough as well and made me feel like she was really listening to me and cared about my health. Highly recommend her!
Verified patient
Going to the doctor is probably my least favorite thing, but everyone in this office put me at ease and made it a pleasant experience.
Not very LGBT+ friendly
Dr. Swegler actually takes the time to listen to patients and think about potential issues rather than just reading charts from nurses/assistants and basing diagnosis on paperwork. I appreciate her thoughtfulness, professionalism and consideration as a patient. I'd recommend her to anyone in the area, as it was also very easy for me to book an appointment on a quick turn and I didn't spend much time in the waiting room, despite there being several people waiting (everyone seemed to move in and out quickly). The only potential thing that might put people off is that the office seems a bit dated, but it looks like they're in the process of moving to new space.
Verified patient
I highly recommend Dr. Swegler! I went in for an appointment today to ask about returning onto a specific medication. She was highly knowledgeable, non judge mental and made me feel at ease. It was one of the best doctor’s appointments I have had in a long time.
Verified patient
As always, I have nothing but great things to say about her. In the 4-5 yrs she has been my PCP, I never once have had a bad encounter with her, her office staff, etc. She is so so very caring and makes me feel safe and secure that my health is being taken care of and I am in the best hands.Thanks, Dr. Swegler!
Verified patient
Good
Dr. Swegler was so understanding and non-judgemental. I really appreciated her professionalism and candor when discussing my treatment options. I felt very comfortable with her and am happy to have her as my primary care physician.
Verified patient
Have seen this Dr for 3 years and it had steadily gone down hill. Past two times I've showed up for scheduled appointments I've been told that I wasn't in the system. There is only one doctor at this practice and obviously she can't be there all the time with means getting an appointment can be tricky. She also doesn't do electronic prescriptions for controlled substances which isn't such a big deal but it gets frustrating. Sadly I will be finding a more available doctors office.
Visit was for a 24 month well check. She was very understanding and patient with my wiggle worm. Short wait time, and thorough visit. Asked about my concerns and questions, and gave full answers and suggestions. We left with a great visit, new book and stickers. Front desk staff and nurses were very pleasant as well.
Verified patient
I have been seeing Dr. Swegler for a long time now, but since she was not available due to me making a very last minute appointment, I had the please of seeing Dr. Tracy Hill instead. I have seen Dr. Hill once before but it had been a few years (and she even remembered me after so long). She was absolutely wonderful and I felt I was in very good hands even though it was not my normal PCP, Dr. Swegler, I was seeing this time. She was sweet, caring, attentive, knowledgable and made sure I had everything I needed. Just another reason why this office is top notch! Thank you, Dr. Hill !!!!
Verified patient
I have yet to wait less than an hour for a 2 minute appointment. I honestly don't know why I havent switched yet, but i probably will.
I love you, Dr. Swegler :) thanks for saving my life and pulling me out of my mental health issues that were leading me down a dark, life ending path. You're always there to listen and care. You've meant the world to me through my struggles these past few years. My life has been so much better under your care. I hope you get to see these reviews and know how much good you do for your patients. -Melissa J
Verified patient
Not welcoming or efficient people even though the office is usually empty. I enjoy the fact that this location has extended hours and weekend hours, which is the only reason I continue coming here.
