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.

total knee replacement
We initially contacted Dr. Swidereck concerning ongoing knee pain. Due to life circumstances it was not possible to address surgery at that point. Patient received knee injections which did help reduce inflammation but did not cure the problem. Once we were finally settled in this area we pursued knee replacement with Dr. Swiderek. We were given a convenient time for scheduling surgery within a reasonable time period. Currently patient is one month post op with very little pain. Patient is attending pt 3 times weekly and has already progressed to 120 degrees of rotation which was our ultimate goal. We can not say enough complimentary satisfaction as to how pleasant, , professional and confident being under Dr. Swidereks care has been. He is always available for questions which are addressed one by one as issues arise to make the patient completely at ease as well as family members who also have concerns regarding the outcome of their procedure. Giving a 5 out of 5!!!!!!!!

Outstanding Surgeon! – Mar 10, 2025
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Swiderek?
Well my favorite Dr of all time. I had fell and broke my hip in 3 places they said I’d need a hip replacement a year later. After visits with a different Dr than Dr Swederek we just didn’t see eye to eye he was rude. Finding Dr Swiderek I really liked him. Still in pain a year later Swiderek did my replacement. When he went in he found screws loose a 6 inch bolt loose rubbing on my ball it had made a grove in my bone. He cut away the bolt reattached some braces and replaced my hip. I was finally outta of that awful pain. He did an amazing job I will always refer him to my friends and family. I was released 6 weeks later. No one better than Swiderek I just love him.

Not helpful, rude

He told me my pain had moved over an inch and didn't know what it was. Refused to help and did not request follow up. Rude.

Awesome Dr!!
Hurt my knee in the late afternoon & got me in to see Dr. Swiderek the next day!! Everyone there was wonderful. Dr. Swiderek (or Dr.Lee as he told me to call him) was wonderful! He explained the X-rays & everything else involved. Got a shot in my knee & here we are the next day, just about pain free! No rush to surgery, which is awesome! He wants my body to “try to heal itself first”. Love this approach! If it’s not better, or gets worse, I go back in 3 months & he’ll reevaluate.He was friendly, kind, explained everything & answered all my questions. I am so glad I found him!!HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!Thanks, Dr. Lee!!!

Successful Hip Replacements!
I had rapidly progressive osteoarthritus of both hips. I was 59 and live alone. I was in a lot of pain and had started walking on crutches. It hurt to walk, sit, and lay down. The pain was so high that I could not focus to even do computer work. Dr Swiderek diagnosed me and scheduled my first surgery 6 weeks later followed by the second 6 weeks after. The process at Tristar Summit was a breeze and the staff at both AOS and the hospital were friendly and helpful. The surgeries and therapy were successful. Two weeks after the second surgery I was walking without a walker. Six weeks later I was mostly out of pain. One year later I am totally healed, have no pain, and my range of motion is as good as before it all began. I highly recommend Dr Swidereck for hip replacement surgery and am very grateful to him and his staff for restoring my health!

Dr. Swiderek fully explained my knee replacement surgery and answered all our questions. He is easy to talk to and doesn’t rush. Fully explains post op instructions. My surgery went so well and I did not have any pain afterward.
