It's apparent that she really listens and I appreciate that Dr Swamy does not rush you out the door. She treats the whole person and refers a specialist when necessary.

Great experience going to her as our family's primary care physician since the past 6+ years. Appointments are typically available when needed, not much wait if you get there on time, cordial nurses and staff. Dr. Swamy is also very easy to talk to, listens well, doesn't just push you to take medication, antibiotics or diagnostic tests unless really needed. Always suggests home remedies and simple lifestyle things to treat your illness, recommends medication only if needed. Rare to find a doc like here in today's times when most are out there to make as much money off the patient visit as they can!

Overall experience was enough for me to look for another doctor. The woman who books & makes her appointment was the ONLY pleasant experience Everything else was sub par. Not worth it for me to continue seeing her as my PCP

I have been seeing Dr. Swamy for maybe 5 years now. She is always so friendly and helpful. I have been going to the my original doctor for 15 plus years and then she moved out of state. I'm glad that I have found Dr. Swamy! I've never had any problems being scheduled. The office assistant and nurse are AMAZING! They all seem to work well with each other.

My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Swamy for many years, and I hope she takes as good care of herself as she does her patients because we would HATE the thought of having to change doctors. Dr. Swamy is not only an excellent diagnostician, she is a very kind, understanding physician. She is very pleasant and smiles a lot when she talks to you, and that helps so much. Dr. Swamy knows how to put an anxious patient (me, for example) at ease, and she never makes us feel that she's in a hurry to get to the next patient. This is very important to me. She always makes me feel as if I'm the only patient she has in the whole world. In closing, I just want to say that doctors like Dr. Sheela Swamy don't grow on trees! ;)

I have had Dr.Swamy as a Dr. for several years. She does my yearly exams and all blood work is done at the office. She doesn't over prescribe medicine and always works with me because I have no insurance. I highly recommend her and her staff is always pleasent..

I think Dr. Swamy and her staff are great. I've been going to her for at least 8 years. She listens and I've even sent my husband and my mom to her.
