Dr. Swales is wonderful. He spent extra time talking to me about some chronic health issues and new medications to try, but also the importance of me making changes I have needed to make. It was a meaningful and important conversation about my health, and I am very grateful for his excellent care as well as the way he helped me see that I need to make changes to support my health.
