Doctor Swartzon is one of the best doctors I've been to. I will recommend him to anyone that needs an orthopedic doctor. He was so kind and easy to talk to. He explained everything, even as he was looking at my scans. He gave me multiple treatment options and still left the option open to revisit if needed. More doctors need to be like Dr. Swartzon.

I had an entire group of people with me. They were very transparent about the rarity of my problem, what can be done that day and how it could possibly go. This was for an ultrasound guided cyst removal in the knee. The team let me watch the ultrasound and spoke directly to me as we made a decision to do an ultrasound guided aspiration. They were very up front about the pain level. The teams bedside manner was awesome. The entire visit was quick but didn't feel rushed. They gave me as much time as I needed to describe my concerns, pain, and how I thought it came to be. As soon as I finished my explanation they immediately had X-rays taken with 0 wait time. They reviewed them with me in the room and moved forward quickly. The entire process from diagnosis, X-rays, 2 different sets of tests, ultrasound and guided aspiration and checkout took 1-1.5 hours. This team rocks
