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.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!! This So-called, DR. Swords, has left me in pain for close to 35 years. He would not listen to me when I continually told him how much pain I was still in even after the surgery he did on my ankle, but he absolutely refused to listen to me about how much pain I was having in my foot. He actually told me that all I wanted was more pain meds and I told him NO! I NEED you to look at my foot also and not just my ankle. He actually walked out on me in his office. Since then. I have been told by an orthopedic surgeon in Houston that I have built up scar tissue in my foot and it had more than likely been broken. I will soon have corrective surgery on my foot after being in pain for almost 35 years and that’s all because Dr. Swords didn’t care enough to listen.

I've been a patient of Dr. Frank Swords for about 25 years. I've recommended many friends and co-workers to his practice as well. We all love him! You won't find a more kind, polite and knowledgeable doctor in the field of orthopedics. He doesn't condescend to his patients. He listens! The space is too limited here to tell you all the ways this doctor has stood between me and pain at various times in my life. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a true professional.
