Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Hippa violator
When she was my dr she violated HIPPA discussing my care with a pathologist that I worked for. without my knowledge or permission. We all worked in the same hospital. DO NOT TRUST HER.

Beware!
I won't trust her to treat a houseplant. She ordered a stool softener to be administered to a patient with diarrhea. She ordered an enema to be administered to a woman whose rectum had been removed.

Dr Swindell is a manipulative liar.
My request to anyone with a terminally ill patient in their family is to NOT allow Dr Swindell to participate in your family’s care unless you wish for a lying and manipulating Palliative Medicine doctor to unsafely discharge your relative at a time when their pain has been inadequately controlled. You have been warned.
