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.

He’s always such a nice guy .
He always knows what to do .

Excellent Physician
Dr. Swigler is treating my daughter for an injury she sustained to her thumb and tendons between the thumb and index finger. He is very thorough, knowledgeable, and puts things into layman terms for better understanding. I 100% recommend him for any hand injuries!

Made my thumbs usable. Checking in was a little awkward, using tablet and writing with a pen. Dr Swigler has great consideration for his patients. Listens and adapts to concerns.
