Dr Swamy has been my Dr for the last almost 13 years. She is very passionate and really does care about her patients, not only about their diabetes but also about their life. Being a teenager with diabetes is not fun but Dr Swamy always had the right things to say and always had someway of making me feel better about having Diabetes. If it wasn't for her being my doctor I don't know where I would be with my diabetes. I have seen other endos and had to walk out because of how rude they were, did not seem to really care about their patients. My time is coming up with Dr Swamy and I hope I can find another dr like her. Dr Swamy has been the most AMAZING Dr that I have ever seen. Its going to be tough to find another Dr like her.

As bad as it is, having a child with diabetes, Dr. Swamy makes you feel like it is going to be o.k. She listens, she cares, she is so very knowledgable about this horible disease. Being a teenager is hard enough, but when you throw in diabetes, it feels like it can't get worse. Dr. Swamy somehow reasons with my very unreasonable teen and presto! She has a 7.4 A1C! Cannot say enough good things.
