Dr Swetech reviewed all my records prior to seeing me, he found something that no one prior did, it wasn't even the reason I went to see him. I just cant say enough kind words about him. His staff is kind, especially the lady who books apts n calls for reminders. Kindness is a bonus. I highly recommend

This physician has a fine on his Michigan Practice of Licence on Michigan.gov in 2008 each patient should know before going to see their MD the doctor history and displinary action. Be cautious. His staff is very rood , Nancy is a biller and coder who is extreamly rood in the frount and constantly complains about patients, Sarah is extreamly unsensative And seems bothered , not to mention their is nobody in the office. His office is owned by Dr Nassir who has had trouble with Medicare/Medicaid billing and coding issues with the state of Michigan and has had multiple complaint on his licence.

He is very knowledge and has a great personality. It made me feel very comfortable before and after my colonoscopy and throat scope. I would highly recommend him to other patients.

your helpers do not know what they are doing. And they are rude on the phone and do not care about people. And calling eveyone a liar.
