Dr. Swain is so passionate and kind and knowledgable. Every concern I had was addressed with immediate and long term solutions, every question I asked was answered clearly, and most importantly of all, I felt heard. Dr. Swain trusted me and my experiences just as highly as she trusts her tests and at no point did I feel like I couldn’t speak up. It’s amazing to feel that your doctor is on your side, not just getting through a workday.
