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.

Can't say enough about him and his staff. Let's just say you won't be sorry for choosing him.

Dr. Sweeney was my hospital doctor during complications from hernia surgery. He was very personable and friendly, and competent. Explained things in understandable terms and was extremely professional.

After being hospitalized for 5 days, no test showed why I was unresponce to care. Was sent to 5 different specialist, with no success. Was sent to rehab facility and met Dr. Sweeney. My daughter observed his services and asked him if he would take me on as a new patient. He accepted me as a new patient, and discovered my problem and got me back on feet. Prior doctors had me over medicated, and no one thought about it but Dr. Sweeney. He saved my life.

Family Medicine doctor but really wasn't prepared to deal with an adolescent. Physicals were hands off, no attention paid to the fact that my son was loosing weigh, the staff blamed the poor quality of their scales for the weight loss. Little follow through and all this resulted in an emergency hospitalization due to peptic ulcer disease. If you are a senior, this may be a great office, but not for family medicine.

Dr. Sweeney is very easy to talk with. He identifies with the patient, is very encouraging provides feedback and advice in a friendly and straightforward manner. Very personable. Sometimes the wait is VERY long, however, the service of Dr. Sweeney and staff ease the pain of the wait.
