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.

She is the most amazing woman, doctor I have ever met. I had my first child at 15(now 34) and she never made me feel embarassed, ashamed or judged! She took the time to listen and address every concern I had even if it felt silly. I am going to miss her! I know my mothers will feel the same. She treated all of us! Good luck on your future journey! You deserve it all Dr Swenson!!!!

Dr Swensen is a consummate professional excellent clinician and caring physician. May she be just as happy in her retirement. The practice is the most outstanding women's practice in Austin and I know because I am a physician who is a patient and colleague.

I'm very sad Dr. Swenson is retiring. She was treated my excess bleeding nonsurgically 1st when my friends doctors went straight for a hysterectomy because they were no longer child bearing. She was my only doctor to encourage me to lose weight and was not judgemental about it at all. My other doctors ignored the problem. I will miss her as my GYN.
