It only took two visits with dr swoager .he seemed only interested in pushing drugs and was uninterested in helping me do it with diet and dismissed any other problems I wanted to discuss when I told him I would not take statins....loved his office staff.

Doc fired me as a patient because I was non-compliant w/ my diabetes care. He was more concerned w/ my health than I was. He listens, tells you the reality you need to adhere to, and treats you with respect! Highly recommend him - and hope to one day be back in his patient pool. Alane Riley.

Dr. Swoager has been the primary care doctor for my self and my wife for many years. He has taken exemplary care of us over the years and is a very caring and compassionate person. He isn't just a fine doctor but a good human being with a good sense of humor to boot. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a qualified and caring physician.

I have been a patient of Dr. Swoager’s for more than 20 years. He’s very compassionate and actually listens when you speak to him. He asks about your personal life as well as your medical history. On follow-up visits, he often brings up something you may have mentioned on your previous appointment about an upcoming event you were attending. You’re not just a number to him, he treats you like he wants to be treated. I highly recommend him.
