Dr. Anne Patricia Swedlund, MD

When your blood pressure dropped to 67/43 and got pain all over the body due to unexplained, none-stop diarrhea, and was on the verge of damaging your kidney and heart functions, and was checked into ER to get hydrated via IV, guess who came to your MCU ward to visit you early at 6am to review all the lab details in the computer? After all the team doctors and consulting physicians on your case visited you ONCE or NONE at all during your 11 days of your hospitalization, all walked away after a mere comment, "it is not bacterial", "it is not the kidney", "we will pump more potassium and magnesium and you are likely to go home today", guess whe continues to come into my ward every morning at 6am to check into the hospital computer to analyse the lab results and was determined to figure out what went wrong with the patient when the cause of the diarrhea was not certain? It can only be the marvelous, superb Dr Swedlund. Everyday she communicated with her colleagues, other consulting… physicians and her own husband to try to figure out the reason of the illness, not just to treat the symptoms of the illness. Dr. Swedlund's genuine concern of the her patients, true dedication to medical profession, and her brilliant insights in her field saved my life. She is the ONLY ONE specialist among all hopsital physicians who stayed on my case every single day with continuous lab work when, after two weeks after I checked out of hospital, some of the lab results were still pending, which was an amazing fact to say the least. While Dr. Swedlund was waiting for those lab results to pin-point the problem, she just promptly issued new scripts to repeat those tests so her patient can be more appropriately treated with speedy recovery. Such a compassionate person is Dr. Swedlund, no matter challenging her own daily medical practice and responsibility will be, that she manage to find time to read my daily email report to her and give me instructions daily as to how to taper off certain meds and how to stay hydrated through what over the counter. She saved my life. I don't think you will find a finer specialist and a better person than Dr. Anne Swedlund! She lives and works with passion. My family loves her and we owe her for the rest of my life. I wanted to be a better person and I have so much to learn from her. To be always fascinated by the problem and be a true problem solver. We solute you, Dr. Swedlund!

Dr. Anne Swedlund is the most dedicated gastroenterologist with excellent service and experience. She is not only a super responsible medical expert but also persévères to seek the roots of medical causes for the benefits of her patients. She is a remarkable médical doctor whose wisdom and medical intuitions are treasured by all of her patients.

This doctor has absolutely no respect for patient privacy or HIPAA. After I had a procedure done, performed by her, she blabbed the results of what she found to the person who had driven me to the appointment. This would have been objectionable under any circumstance, but to make matters worse, I had explicitly stated in my paperwork that my medical information was to be given to NO ONE. Additionally, she blabbed the information in the waiting room, in front of other patients. UNACCEPTABLE! Never before have I had this kind of experience with a doctor. I definitely will NOT be back.

Two years I was hospitalized with pneumonia and a non-working gallbladder. No one in the hospital was able to connect the dots and figure out I had Legionnaire's disease. It was a good thing I spoke with Dr. Swedlund before I let them take my gall bladder out as an outpatient. She said my symptoms didn't add up and had me take a blood test for Legionnaire's. Dr. Swedlund nailed it, saving my gallbladder from unnecessary surgery. She's truly a community treasure.

Dr Swedlund deserves every superlative imaginable. Every aspect of her patient care is almost beyond expectation.

Dr. Swedlund is a wonderful doctor. She listens intently to her patients and is very careful in her analysis. I have complete confidence in her approach and my procedure went very smoothly. I am very happy she is part of my medical team.

Dr. Swedlund is simply wonderful. Very bright, very positive.

Dr Swedlund is honest, determined, kind, helpful, wicked smart and she has an outstanding bedside manner to boot. In trying situations or even under normal circumstances, I wouldn't want anyone else treating me for my digestive issues. We are very lucky to have her on our side!

No one could find a kinder more appropriate and intelligent individual than Dr Swedlund. Her concern,compassion and empathy partnered with her high intellect and ability to read people and respond quickly with an accurate diagnosis to boot certainly puts her on the top of my list of doctors. No One beats her! I pray that she Never Retires!!!

Hard to get an appointment, but worth the wait. Great bedside manner and a knowledge diagnostician. Hard to get through to a live person via telephone, and the desk didn't get a return phone call as promised, but Dr Swedlund still earns marks.
