I had an extensive arm injury and Dr. Swayze performed surgery to put it back together. I never felt uncomfortable going to any of my follow up visits, I actually looked forward to them. He acted more like a real person than most Doctors. He has a great disposition. He took the time to explain whatever I did not understand. I will recommend this Doctor to everyone. Most Doctors spend as little time with you as possible (and believe me I have been to a lot). He is a great Doctor and I am blessed that I was referred to him by the hospital. I will continue to use this Doctor in the future.The only negative thing that I would say about my situation is the time I had to wait for an appointment after leaving the hospital. I went to the hospital on a Wednesday and when I called the Doctors office, I was told that I had to wait until the following Monday before I could schedule an appointment with Dr. Swayze. The reason I was given is that my injury needed time for the swelling to go… down. That may be the case but I was in sever pain waiting for my appointment.

I really like Dr. Swayze, but I don t appreciate making an appointment and having to wait an hour to be seen. I have to get back to work. I cannot schedule the day off for an appointment. Patients time should be just as important as the doctors time. It is very inconsiderate having people wait. Why make an appointment?
