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.

Very caring Takes the time to listen. I think she is so compassionate

I took my mother to many other doctors before Dr. Sweeney. She ordered extensive tests and got to the bottom of the problem. Just to make sure, I took my mom to U. of Penn's Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine, who 100% confirmed Dr. Sweeney's findings. Caring, Compassionate, Super Intelligent, Over and Above are words that come to mind describing Dr. Sweeney. We feel really lucky to have a doctor like her in this area. We get her PA every other time and we like her too. Staff great too

Office Staff is horrible. It took nearly a month to receive a call back from office manager. Staff submits incorrect scripts for MRI - 4 times and insurance denied authorizations to have testing. I was on the phone an entire day with insurance to finally straighten out their mistakes. Will not allow you to speak to Doctor"she is too busy to talk" they told me to see my family doctor to explain results from MRI. Never return calls.

I started going to Dr Sweeney years ago,thought she was great. That was until I needed her. I have called her office no more than 5 times. I leave messages no call backs, need a medication refill no call backs, if the medication is called in it's wrong. I ask to talk to Dr Sweeney she's not in the office or at 1:00PM has left for the day. Clearly dodging calls. They are always pushing her PA who I don't trust. Go any where else. Great at taking your money for check ups and nothing else.

I never ever get to see this woman, I'm constantly dealing with a PA, I have MS, I want a doctor!!! Not a physician assistant!!! I've called since with symptoms sine mid week with no results. It's Friday, they said go to the ER if I'm in that much pain --- we wonder why insurance is so high?? treat the patient!!

I had been travelling into the city to one of the top hospitals for over 8 years. I thought I was getting the best care I could get up until I experienced two separate situations where I needed additional care and could not get it. Dr. Sweeney was recommended to me and I decided it was time to make a change. Dr. Sweeney spent an hour with me, she's smart, she knows her stuff. It was definitely a 5 star visit!

Dr Sweeney treats me for MS. She's very high energy and after my first appointment, I was overwhelmed. But I've since come to respect her. She really does listen and is interested in digging deeper to identify root causes.

Where do I begin to tell you about this AMAZING women.. Dr. Sweeney is one of the most compassionate doctors I have ever met. She is not only a Neurologist but one of the most up to date and knowledgeable ones. When she joined St. Luke's hospital I had to follow her, I drive almost 2 hours for my appointments. Dr. Sweeney has never sat behind a computer during a visit with me. She makes visits feel comfortable. She really listens and puts you first. Her office staff have been great as well.
