He listen to my answers of questions he asked me. He thought for a moment and then explained his thoughts and what would help my problem. He was sympathetic and generous with his samples. I deeply appreciated this. He told me how I could increase the pills and probably get better results when I over did a food I can't resist.

Verified patient
He is very true full and deeply concerning, infact when it showed up i had HC may years ago.he was cautious about just putting me on any treatment because of other narcotic meds that i was put on by some other Doctor. He knew at the time his treatment for my HC could lead me into deep depression and was concerned about suicidal problems it would give me. Yet even though without him given me more full for the fire, " I still tried over ten times to kill myself. " Years later when he saw I was over this serious problem DR Swan helps me for HC which I have had amazing progress. I am so proud of his care for me.
