Very kind and handsome man. Treated me with care and respect and I couldn’t have asked for a better doc

Aside from being condescending, I believe he gave me a diagnosis and medication that were wrong for me and ultimately very detrimental to my mental health. I can't believe that someone with his attitude and lack of bedside manner is working with mentally fragile people. Aside from one very kind nurse, I found his office staff to be very rude as well. I don't normally write reviews but I am hoping that reading this will guide someone to seek help elsewhere.

I have always found him to be kind and very patient when asking or answering questions. The fact that he was a family doctor in the past gives me reassurance that he knows the mind and body connection better than previous doctors I’ve had.

I have always found him to be professional and cordial. His background as a family physician is helpful in giving complete answers to questions which is reassuring.

Dr. Swords is always cordial and great for listening and asking the right questions. It’s nice that he has the background of an MD in family medicine and provides answers to many questions or concerns.

This Man should be in a Profession that doesn't require such intimate conversations as he has no bedside manner. He is abrasive, rude and immensely condescending. Turning to him in one of my darkest hours has unfortunately been a HUGE REGRET!!!! HUGE REGRET!

I came to Dr. Swords for help in a very dark hour of my life and all he was to me was rude, disrespectful and obnoxious. This physician has absolutely no bedside manner. I urge anyone looking for psychiatric help to look elsewhere!
