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.

Awesome Experience (for knee replacement)
I have been extremely pleased with Dr. Swayze, his nurses and the PT department. They have been very accommodating with refills, questions and everything involved in navigating knee replacement. Dr. Swayze is awesome!!!!

Compassion You Can Feel, Care You Can Trust
From the moment I entered Dr. Swayze's office, I felt a genuine sense of warmth and care. Both he and his nurse went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable, listened to, and valued. Every concern I had was approached with compassion, and every option was explained with remarkable clarity. Their dedication and personal touch made me feel not just like a patient, but like someone truly cared for.'

Wonderful, caring professional!
Dr. Swayze is a kind and caring physician who spent as much time with me, and our son on a different visit, as we needed. He explains everything in a way we understand, returns phone calls and messages and has a wonderful “bedside manner”. I would recommend Dr. Swayze to anyone in need of an orthopedic doctor!

Trustworthy and thorough
He spent time with me, listening, collecting info and discussing all aspects of knee surgery. He legitimized my pain and knee flare ups that cause considerable problems with working, driving and traveling....even socializing and family get together. He gave options. Clear instructions and daily helps in living with knee problems. He is affable and genuine. I really appreciated him and trust him in not only advice but performing my surgery.

Best Orthopedic doctor I have had
Dr. Swayze replaced my right hip 7 years ago. First surgery of the day and I was home by 5 p.m. Never a problem since.Treated me for bursitis in my left hip and arthritis in my right shoulder today. Recommended exercise routine for bursitis and steroids for shoulder since the arthritis is not bad enough for surgery.A very caring man who took all the time I needed to explain everything. Could not recommend him more highly.
