The nurse, Breonni, was wonderful, friendly, and helpful. I’m bit the biggest fan of medical offices, but Dr. Swami was communicative, attentive, and answered my many questions. I felt like my concerns were heard and taken into consideration, and I’ve already scheduled a follow up appointment.

When I arrived they said they had called me left me a message saying the doctor wouldn’t be in. No one ever left me a message. I check my phone log and saw an unfamiliar number but still there was no voice message. I live almost an hour away. I had to schedule for another day

This was my first time in this office and everyone was very professional and respectful. Dr. Swami took time to listen to me and ensured he understood my concerns. The wait time was a little long, but if it's because he takes time to listen to the patients, then I'm ok with it. Would definitely reccomend his office.

Dr. Swami was great. He really spends time getting to know you, your history, and makes thorough diagnosis and treatment plans. It is so refreshing to have a doctor sit and talk about all your options and answer all your questions when the current trend in health care seems to be spending the minimum amount of time with the patient as possible.

I am so thankful to have found Dr. Swami! I have suffered multiple lung infections this past year, and he listened intently and asked questions while taking notes to discuss my health history. I never felt rushed at all. He was very supportive in discussing what the options are to look more closely at my lung health. He took me through lung function tests, and has been incredibly supportive of helpful in scheduling other tests including allergy testing, CAT scan, blood work. I feel like I am in excellent hands with Dr. Swami. Plus, the front desk is awesome as well. I'd highly recommend Dr. Swami to anyone looking for a Pulmonologist!
December 9, 2016Kristen S.Verified patient
Dr. Swami was fantastic! I was in need of a pulmonary function test for a job and was able to book an appointment right away. Dr. Swami went above and beyond to ensure my needs were met. He was kind, attentive, courteous, and professional throughout the entire appointment. Definitely recommending him for my family and friends!
December 15, 2016Adriana H.Verified patient
Dr. Swami was fantastic. I have not been in for a regular checkup in probably a decade, and Dr. Swami took the time to really get to know me and dig into my background. I am not sure I was looking to get back into a yearly physical/health routine, but I definitely will be now. Highly recommend Dr. Swami.
November 18, 2016Michael P.Verified patient
The office is very professional and has been so helpful. I was in the hospital recently for a pulmonary embolism and Dr. Swami made me feel comfortable with the next steps. I highly recommend this office to all of my friends and family. 5 Star experience. :)
