Dr. Sarah Nicole Munoz Javier, DO

She was absolutely wonderful! Very informative and nice.

She is an amazing doctor. She Bre wakes things down and does not rush you when you are trying to get understanding.

Dr. Javier is the best! She is patient, kind, caring, and knowledgeable. She makes sure to take her time and explain everything in great detail and answers all questions throughly. She’s wonderful!

Dr. Javier has taken such great care of me during my current pregnancy. She has been kind, understanding, and extremely thorough. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

I thought Dr. Javier was excellent. She gave me a thorough exam. She explained why I would need a biopsy.

Excellent bedside manner. Empathetic. Enjoy her as a doctor.

Isn’t my primary OGBYN but was nice

was a new patient meeting Dr. Javier for the first time after my longtime provider at Women's Health Associates left the practice. Unfortunately, I did not feel heard or understood during my appointment. When I tried to explain my medical history and family concerns, the conversation felt rushed and dismissive. I had requested a pap smear through the intake nurse because it had been two years since my last one and I have a family history that made me feel it was important. Dr. Javier informed me that it would not be performed because I was still within current screening guidelines. When I asked for clarification about those guidelines, the explanation came across as condescending rather than informative. There was also discussion about changing my current treatment plan, despite the fact that it had been helping manage ongoing symptoms. I brought up a condition that had been monitored for years by my previous provider through regular ultrasounds, but it seemed that history had not… been reviewed beforehand. Throughout the appointment, I felt interrupted several times and sensed that prior medical decisions made collaboratively with my former practitioner were being dismissed. By the end of the visit, I no longer felt comfortable expressing my concerns and decided this provider was not the right fit for me. I have already scheduled my next annual exam with a different practitioner within the practice. After being with Dr. Swainston’s practice for 20 years, I truly hope my next experience is more attentive and patient-centered, because I would hate to have to look elsewhere for care.

I got the necessary test and treatment for the present issue, however when inquiring about proactive measures going forward with my consistent medical history/experience within the last 6 months - she was very invalidating and just gave a general health spiel and didn’t actually listen to my circumstance or questions. To get a quick job done sure she’s decent - but for proactive health decisions and treatment, I’d advise going to someone else who’s willing to hear you out and assist. As a woman, you’d expect more sympathy and avid listening from her, considering how neglected woman’s health and research/studies are in this world. But she really just spieled the general stuff written in a medical textbook or what someone can look up online - disappointing to be a woman in this field and not advocating or being proactive to your patients personal experiences.

Dr Javier spent quite a bit of time with me, which was great, but she didn’t seem to listen. She made assumptions and jumped to conclusions based on the norm, even after I explained my history. She talked at length about things that didn’t necessarily apply to me, but seemed to be her go-to speech for certain scenarios.
