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.

Didn't see her once once chemo started
I did see her this appointment after no more chemo and she was very nice, informative and thorough.

Delightful Caring Doctor
Due to breast cancer surgery, I’ve been going to Dr. Swart since late 2022 & am quite pleased with her. Prior to my appts., it seems like she always takes time to review my file & is very prepared to answer my questions on tests results etc. whenever I have my follow up appts. She never rushes me. . Dr. Swart is very knowledgeable, caring & easy to communicate with. I feel very comfortable with entrusting her with my medical care & highly recommend her.

Dr Swart has been my oncologist for more than 10 yrs. She is always attentive and concerned and most caring when I see her. She takes her time to explain issues to me that I’m worried about or don’t understand. She is thorough with her exams and follows up always. Cancer is a scary journey and it’s important to have the right person in the drivers seat. Dr Swart is that one.

My last visit with Dr Swart was very informative.
Dr Swart was very informative and provided copies of materials for me to read regarding my cancel and drugs that can help slow down the cancer. What I should do if I have any side effects.If I have questions, i feel that I can go and ask my questions and will get a good answer and decide what to do with a better understanding. Dr Swart is an excellent doctor and knows her drugs and how to prescribe them. Thanks.

She is excellent in every way.
First, her staff reached out ahead of the visit and provided detailed information about breast cancer which allowed me to be prepared and educated ahead of the visit. Dr. Swart was professional, knowledgeable, well informed and direct in her approach. She explained both my test results snd surgery and treatment plan in detail. She also explained possible side effects of prescribed medication and provided information about support groups. Both my husband and I left the appointment feeling hopeful and prepared to tackle the future of this adventure. I strongly recommend her as a physician.

Oustanding!
Dr. Swart is a wonderful physician. I wasn't sure what to expect, but she blows the roof off in the best way! One of the things that she brings to the table is her own experience as a breast cancer survivor. This gives her the added perspective of having been through it herself, plus the kind of compassion and understanding that can only come with personal experience. Very comforting knowing I'm in such wonderful care with my second primary breast cancer in 23 years!

Disappointed and irritated
I have become increasingly dissatisfied with the care I have received. I won't go into the litany of grievances because it is of no relevance and I plan to take a break from treatment. The providers, Dr. Swart and Rachel Adger know my issues, but say there's nothing they can do to revolve them. At one point, it was implied to me that I should be grateful my problems weren't worse. I can see no benefit in continuing treatment at this time.

Dr. Swart called me personally after she received the results of my mammogram and got me the tests I needed and got me to my surgeon right away to start treatment. She is very caring. She takes her time to explain everything and to answer my questions. I have always felt very comfortable and reassured that she will take good care of me and get me the help I need as she did when I saw her previously. I highly recommend her as she is a great Oncologist!! The great service begins as soon as you walk in with the receptionists, very welcoming, friendly, the lab techs put you at ease, and her nurse Maria is very professional but friendly and comforting. Highly recommend this practice.
