Very well informative and answered all questions that my fiancé and I had about my symptoms. His friendly demeanor allowed myself to be more at ease while visiting a doctor. Usually the sight of being in a doctors office frightens me. But Dr. Dwyer and his staff made me feel welcome. Only complaint is that I was called into my appt 30 minutes early, but still was not seen until my actual scheduled time.

This is my first visit with Dr. Dwyer and I was very pleased with my experience. He made me feel at ease about seeing a new doctor and seemed to genuinely care about my health and well-being. The office is a bit rough around the edges but the staff is friendly and efficient. I would highly recommend Dr. Dwyer to anyone.
January 8, 2014Mary H.Verified patient
The problem I had was the day I went into Dr. Dwyer's office it took more than two hours for me to be seen. The first nurse was very nice and explained that they had someone call in sick and that was why it was taking so long which is totally understandable, I just wish the front desk would have told me so I could reschedule because I didn't have an extra 2 hours that day to sit in their office.
