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.

Arrogant and uncaring
I was not impressed with Dr. Swaminathan. He is very arrogant and cavalier and just shows up late for appointments. On more than one occasion, he was pulling into the parking lot after I had been sitting in the exam room for at least 15 minutes. When I asked about it, he said to "get used to it". Very unprofessional. Terrible bedside manner. I would not recommend at all.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Swaminathan?
I saw Dr. Swaminathan after a back injury left me in excruciating pain. I was unable to sit or stand for more than a minute so when I arrived at his office his staff brought me straight to an exam room. Dr. S spent almost an hour with me and my husband and was extremely knowledgeable and caring. He later performed a spinal nerve root block which was successful. I can highly recommend Dr. Swaminathan. He actually seems to care, which is refreshing.
