Dr. Swanson was very informative and patient with my questions. He was gentle with a semi-invasive nasal test and explained every detail. I came away with good suggestions for my issues.

My visit with Dr Swanson was ok.
He listened to my concerns.
I have been thru 4 months of different Rx's from my primary Dr that offered no relief. Dr Swanson gave me a nasal spray the cleared the congestion, stopped the coughing and 20 gallons of PND.
CT Scan and allergy tests are next.
The wait seemed to take forever.
February 24, 2018Peter B.Verified patient
Dr. Swanson answered all my questions and thoroughly explained all my treatment options. I was very comfortable during the entire visit. Thank you.
December 1, 2017Helen D.Verified patient
After checking my files to see if any thing had changed, I sat down to read before I was called. I didn't sit long. Dr. Swanson was great. He took time to tell me about my situation (which ended not being a physical problem itself, but one related to some drugs I take), to suggest ways to cope, to find out what I was doing with my other specialists, and to recommend a therapist should I feel that I need it. He used good examples and is always very pleasant. Like him a lot.
October 23, 2017Michael W.Verified patient
Always a pleasant experience at the office. Dr. Swanson listens to your concerns, does a through exam and makes recommendations and alternatives to consider. I highly recommend Dr. Swanson
