Online check-in was sooooo easy and straightforward, not having to do all that sitting in the waiting room is awesome. My appointment started right on time, and Dr. Swain and the nurse were both incredible! Friendly and professional, super informative through the whole process. They answered every question I had and I never once felt rushed or like “just another patient to get out the door.” I can’t speak highly enough about either of them!

Dr Swain is an amazing Dr. She spends an inordinate amount of time carefully explaining every detail of all the tests & what they mean.! She sees you as an individual & caters to all the possibilities for treatments. She explores beyond what are her focus & messages other colleagues. I wish all Drs were like her!
