It was ok
Verified patient
Dr. Swindell is exceptional! I saw two other orthopedic specialists before him, who were unable to help. Dr. Swindell took his time to discuss the sports accident that led to my knee injury and listened to my (many) fears and concerns. He asked several questions about my athletic training, and outlined very clear next steps to assess available treatment options (including surgery). He was patient, attentive, detail-oriented and very kind. I felt heard, free to make decisions re treatment options in line with my specific professional / athletic obligations and in the hands of a caring professional! Highly highly recommend

Verified patient
Dr. Swindell was very helpful and engaged, clearly explaining to me what the issue was, presenting a digestible and hopeful plan forward, and answering any questions I had. The whole appointment felt very efficient and gave me a lot of relief that I was getting the best care. Highly recommend!
Verified patient
He will just go off existing images. For some reason he avoided to examine the part of me that hurts because it’s not his field even though he is a hip physician. He also fact check the reason for the visit like the patient is not at the right place. Directly told me what I feel to be fissure tissues to be unrelated pain. Would not recommend. Then when what is obvious needed is further imaging via ultrasound, he pawn me back to urology instead of just ordering a set for me or point me to a urologist that he can recommend.
It was a great first experience. They were so understanding even though I was late. Great professional and I was still seen. I got everything I needed from the appointment.
Verified patient

Verified patient
My experience with Dr Swindell was phenomenal! The office/ hospital is great. The space is modern and clean. The staff was all very friendly. I was seen promptly at my appointment time. Dr Swindell was awesome. He ran a few test for my injured shoulder and gave me a very clear diagnosis. He prescribed me medication to reduce the inflammation and referred me to a PT therapist he has personally used and vouges for. Which is great because many of the PT shops in Brooklyn are garbage! He gave me all the time I needed to explain my condition, he thouroghly explained what I was experiencing, and how to rehab my shoulder, and I he didn't rush me at all. Very highly recommended!
