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.

Highest Recommendation
Dr. Sweitzer performed a reverse total shoulder replacement with tendon biceptinodesis. I particularly appreciated his bedside manner; he described the needed surgery and answered all my questions. I went into surgery with complete trust in Dr. Sweitzer and that trust was well founded. Surgery was a complete success; I'm now three months out and have regained a normal range of movement. I can honestly say that I had no pain after surgery, during recovery, and in the three months since surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Sweitzer and his team...they're the best!

Dr. Sweitzer is an outstanding surgeon, with a warm and engaging personality. I had shoulder surgery, and experienced very little pain-which is amazing! I would refer, and have referred my family & friends to Dr. Sweitzer.

Dr. Sweitzer spent over two hours with me during my initial consult and over an hour during my pre operative appointment. He is not only the most thorough Physician I have ever met, but one of the most thorough people I have met. His attention to detail is outstanding. In addition, he is very personable. If you are having shoulder problems, I would highly recommend that you see Dr. Sweitzer. He worked in concert with my pain management Physician and my General Medicine/PCP Physician.
