Dr. Swayze has been very good throughout my entire procedure, from the first discussion, through surgery, and now my final follow up. I will use him again for my other knee surgery.

Dr Swayze was great! He was thorough in his explanation of my problem and did not want to immediately choose surgery. I loved that approach, and the first option he’s trying has been very helpful.
