I have been Dr Swartz's patient for 21 years, my mother & sister are his patients also. He is the best Doctor I've ever had! He listens, he gets to know you & remember you! He's fun & full of good cheer. He diagnosed me after 5 years of being ignored by other doctors. He prescribes medicine PROPERLY! He follows how meds are affecting me & adjusts accordingly. He REALLY CARES for his patients & their families! When his office decided not to take medicaid anymore, he made an exception for me because he knew how difficult it would be to find someone else to treat me properly. I cannot say enough good things about Dr Swartz! I love & admire him! He has my complete trust & faith!

When Dr Swartz own his practice things where great. As soon as Borgess took over, you couldn't get your meds on time, you had to call for refills two and three times, even the pharmacies complained about the staff. The whole atmosphere in the office changed from nice and mellow to tense and stuffy. He built that practice...Borgess destroyed it and then booted him out!!! Despicable to say the least!!!!
