Dr. Swank is chauvinistic, patronizing and condescending to female patients. He is more worried about pushing patients through than listening to their concerns. His constant use of "dear" after every sentence only makes interactions even more grating and unbearable. He is a great doctor if you are okaying leaving his office in tears after every visit. I would highly suggest never using his service if you are a female.

I had a skin cancer cut out and Dr Swank joked with me a lot and made the experience better. He is very fast.
