Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

In September of 2019 I was in a car accident that shattered my kneecap into several pieces. I feel very fortunate that Dr Swanson was the Ortho on call for emergency surgeries that day. He explained what happened and how he planned on repairing it, and gave me a conservatively realistic idea of what to expect long term. Throughout the last year, his work has proven to be excellent. Recently he went back in and removed all the hardware from my knee, and my knee is strong and stable. I was able to run a 5k race 13 months after the original injury, thanks to his work. He is a great communicator, and will listen to all your questions and will not leave until you understand his answers. All of his colleagues, whether they are OR nurses or fellow Surgeons speak very highly of his commitment to quality and his skill in very difficult cases, like mine. I would recommend Dr Swanson to anyone needing Orthopedic Surgery.

Dr Swanson helped my brother after a horrible accident. My entire family is grateful to him and the other staff member who assisted in my brothers recovery. If it wasn’t for Dr. swanson my brother could have lost his leg. Unlike other surgeons, he actually took the time to listen to my brother and properly address his needs. If you are injured in Phoenix, I highly recommend consulting with Dr. Swanson. He is the absolute best!

After being denied to see my original surgeon, for pain I was still haveing because of a femur break a year and a half into healing. I was referred to Dr. Swanson. The moment he walked into the room, he introduced himself, examined me, did a few tests, explained as he went in detail. He told me the reason of the issue, the game plan, and explained it to where I could understand it in my frustration. He made sure to answer all my questions in detail and with examples. I highly recommend him.

My son was run over by a truck and was rushed by amabilance to Maricopa Mefical Center. I had no choice in the doctors that he would see. I am beyond thankful and will forever have a special place in my heart for Dr. Swanson and the entire staff we have encountered for the past year. If I had a choice I would choose Dr. Swanson and recommend him to anyone seeking and orthopedic surgeon.
