Dr. Swiger delivered my last 2 babies years ago and it wasn’t an option to keep him as my gynecologist after birth to my kids so when I realized he was in Ochsner office while seeing another gynecologist I had to call and see if I could have him as my dr and I could so I jumped on it. Dr. Swiger is the best doctor ever like seriously he’s amazing. I had tough pregnancies due to hyperemesis, he was recommended to me back then and I’m just glad I have the opportunity to have him as my dr once again….

Dr. Swiger delivered my daughter in 2009. Here we are in 2021 trying to have another child, I suffer from PCOS. He was very patient, thorough, and explained everything that he was doing to me before he did it. He is also sending me for more tests that other doctors never had me do.

I have been a patient of Doctor Swiger for 15 years. He is an excellent doctor. He has always been professional and willing to sit and listen to my issues. He delivered all three of my children and would never go to anyone else. Dont listen to the haters. These are people with some personal vendetta. He is Great!!!!!!

I was nervous about seeing a male gynecologist but after meeting Dr Swiger, I must say he was nice, knowledgable and made me feel comfortable. Thank you very much

I was referred to Doctor Swiger for a single incision robotic hysterectomy. My doctor couldn't do it. I was so impressed. Doctor Swiger did the whole thing through one little incision. I was home the next day. Very professional and great bedside manner. Thank you so much!
