Stephanie Swanson is great. She helped me understand what has/is going on with me. She’s very patient with all of my questions. It’s never fun going to the GYN as most woman feel. We just want it over with. I’m so happy I found this doctor as I just recently moved to VA. I feel more educated and just better, overall.

I just do not have enough wonderful things to say about Dr. Swanson. I saw her through both my pregnancies, one with minor complications. Through those complications she remained calm, explained everything well, and answered my 1,000 questions without making me feel like I was taking up all of her time. She's easy to talk to and actually listens to your concerns without brushing them off. I continue driving 20 minutes to see her over other doctors.
Verified patient
I only waited 5 minutes to go into my appointment, the nurse was lovely and took all my details. Dr Swanson was quick, thorough and lovely to chat to.
Dr. Swanson was so kind and helpful! I came in last minute because of a health scare and she saw me right away to make sure everything was okay. She took the time to answer my questions and help calm my fears without looking down on me. I can't say enough how grateful I am for her kindness that day!
Verified patient
I love Dr Swanson. She’s always calm and willing to answer any questions. She also takes her time and is thorough and I never feel rushed with her.
Verified patient
This was my first time seeing Dr Swanson and she was wonderful! I had about 10,000 questions and was pretty overwhelmed when I came in. She saw me right away, literally no wait time at all. The office staff was friendly, helpful, professional and quick. Dr Swanson was so kind and patient with me, answering all my questions very thoroughly and made me feel so calm and comfortable. She never rushed me or pressured me about anything. She was so understanding and helpful, and the exam portion was quick and gentle. I am incredibly happy with her!!
Verified patient
I am a fan of VA Women’s Health in general but this was my first appointment with Dr. Swanson. She was personable and helpful. She laughed at my husbands jokes and still gave information in a professional manner. My only complaint is the wait, but I feel like that is part of going to an OBGYN. They can’t determine when babies will come and it messes with their schedules regularly. As a pregnant woman, I am grateful that they do their best to take care of the women in labor and am okay waiting some.
Verified patient
I have been going to this office for at least 15 years, through the birth of my two kids and through multiple miscarriages, as well as well checks, and have always received great care. Today's appointment was an emotional one for me, and Dr Swanson took the time to listen and to talk to me and talk through the reason for my appointment. It reaffirmed why I've been going there for so long!
Verified patient

Verified patient
Dr. Swanson has always been very warm and understanding. She is very patiently explaining everything and made myself and my partner feel taken care of.
Verified patient
Dr. Swanson was caring, patient, and attentive as always. She has such a wonderful, calm manner that always puts me at ease. I would (and have) recommend her to anyone who is shy, uncomfortable, or embarrassed about their health because Dr. Swanson is always attentive and never makes you feel like she is judging you. She is there to keep you in the best possible health, regardless of your lifestyle, personal beliefs, or medical history. She is the first doctor I've felt I could be honest with regarding concerns about my health.
My first visit to the hospital and being put under could not have gone smoother. She was professional and personable, as were all of the staff I saw at Reston hospital.
Verified patient
My very favorite doctor.
Verified patient
Dr. Swanson has guided me through some scary, stressful health issues this last year with great support. She really understands what I need to hear and know so I am well informed and prepared but not stressed. I think the tests she orders are appropriate, she and the staff are responsive, the wait was a bit long last time but that has never happened before. I always get prompt attention and help from the staff, and the office is wonderful, honestly reminds me of a spa. Excellent care, I am really confident trusting the entire team with my health.
Verified patient
I waited barely 2 minutes, nurse was quiet and cordial. Dr. Swanson was very kind, treated me well and had a lovely bedside manner. It was my first time meeting her and I figured I would need to have an initial appointment and would then need to reschedule a follow-up for a small procedure. I was thrilled that she didn't require a 2nd appointment and performed the procedure right then! Dr. Swanson even answered a few unrelated questions for me regarding my daughter's health, too. I highly recommend her and her staff!
Verified patient
Dr. Swanson truly takes the time to answer any questions and genuinely seems to care for her patients. I have never felt rushed with any of my appointments with her and I would highly recommend her.
Dr. Swanson is one of the best doctors I know. She is always patient and she listens to me carefully each time and answer any questions I have with patience and offers extra knowledge and explanation. She respects my thoughts and ideas, and takes time to educate me on things I don't know. She is always kind, nice, and calm. Highly recommend.

It was great.
Verified patient
Dr. Swanson seems quite knowledgeable, but she comes off as very aloof and uncaring. Her bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired.
Dr. Swanson was very knowledgeable, informative and helped me weigh different options for further testing. I highly recommend her!
Verified patient
I love Dr. Swanson. She clearly cares and takes the time to explain and answer any questions. Unfortunately, I wasn’t as impressed with the rest of the staff as I was with Dr. Swanson. With the exception of the nice young woman who checked me into my appointment when I arrived, I felt like the woman who brought me back for my appointment was less than interested in what I had to say or why I was there. I also work in the medical field and know how tiring it can be to see patients all day, but I also know how easy it is to make a patient feel welcomed. I will return to see Dr. Swanson in the future, but I hope to see better conduct from the staff.
Verified patient
Dr. Swanson is a wonderful doctor every time I go see her she always answers my questions patiently and gives me her complete time and attention. I have a twin pregnancy and with that comes many visits to the doctors, each time she has always taken the proper steps to ensure mine and my babies safety.
Verified patient
Thanks!
Verified patient
Although I have only been a patient for a short time, I trust Dr. Swanson completely. When I was in an emergency situation with preeclampsia, Dr. Swanson calmly and clearly explained our options and her recommendations. She did not sugarcoat or try to minimize the severity of the situation. She listened closely to my unique concerns and did not mind talking through my questions but maintained her efficiency. She was precise and inspired confidence during and extremely stressful time. During follow-up appointments, when the concern shifted to monitoring for postpartum depression, Dr. Swanson went out of her way to be less clinical and more emotionally encouraging and supportive. She is a detail-oriented, no-nonsense personality who really cares for her patients. I appreciate her balanced approach and her calm demeanor.
