I have had out patient medical procedures for over a decade in Anchorage. This experience was so shockingly painful. Something went wrong with the sedation and I seemed to be rushed into it before the sedation had a chance to take effect. So I was fully awake and nerve sensitive throughout. This has never happened to me before with other clinics. I had to complete the procedure to the end. Their seemed to be a lack of compassion and oddly there was computer being used for what appeared personal internet in the procedure room. I don't want to go back to get the results. I have never had that kind of pain before in an out patient clinic.

DR Sweeney has been my doctor for the past 3 years. He is a great doctor who takes the time to really talk to me and explains everything so that I understand it. From the front desk to the nurses to Dr Sweeney that are an awesome staff.

I chose this doctor as he was one of my son's doctors and was straight forward with him. He accurately diagnosed my condition but did appropriate tests to make sure. During one of the tests they found something not related and made sure I knew about it.
