Makes you feel better
July 11, 2025
Dr. Swims is an amazing Internist. His engaging personality immediately put me at ease. He authentically communicated his interest and & care for me. It's rare for me to completely trust a physician. As a consultant I've had personal and professional relationships with physicians/heath-care professionals most of all my adult life. He was especially reassuring during a pre-op exam. I feel fortunate to have "found" him when I searched online for a new internist. I based my decision to see him on his patients reviews. In my experience potential patients should trust the glowing reviews. He exceeded my expectations before my first visit. I've recommended him to family and friends. He is a gold medalist and worthy of your confidence in receiving excellent healthcare from a caring doctor.
