I have been seeing Dr. Sward as my PCP for over five years. She is attentive, listening to everything you tell her and she takes great care in explaining treatment plans and in answering questions that you may have. She basically saved my husband's life by sending him for a test that led to him having a heart cath which revealed a 60% blockage in his aortic artery resulting in a quadruple bypass and preventing a heart attack. I personally do not like taking prescription drugs and have previously had doctors who seemed to think every ailment required a new pill. She is conservative in prescribing medication and will try other treatment plans if medically feasible to do so. She takes a no nonsense approach to medicine but has a great sense of humor and genuinely seems to care about her patients.

I suffer from severe anxiety and depression. I felt like I was being interrogated. And then she treated me like I was an idiot, made multiple false accusations toward and about me, and stormed out of the exam room. I left that office in tears and still crying as I type this. I left feeling worse mentally than I did when I got there. If I was suicidal, she would have assisted in my reasonings.

Dr. Lisa cares for my elderly Father that I'm a caregiver for. She is so thorough and genuinely wants to help. She has excellent listening skills and is honest. She is extremely knowledgeable about geriatrics and aware of how disease processes exacerbate symptoms and ultimately how to best care for the patient. As a registered nurse I work with hundreds of physicians (but am in no way personally affiliated with this practice) and can honestly say Dr. Lisa is one of the very best!

This office does not respect patients... they do not bother to call you when issues arise; they do not respond to patient phone calls; nurses who do take calls are usually rude (not all, but most). I would not advise anyone to go here; in fact, I will be finding a new dr. myself :(
