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.

Very knowledgeable, kind, and caring. Have been seeing Dr Sweeney over 18 years and he is the best!!!

I would recommend Dr. Sweeny to anyone... He is the kindest, most caring doctor I have ever had the privilege of seeing. He is so compassionate and takes time to listen to all your concerns.. and makes you feel like you are his only patient ..even though he has many. I am so happy that I found him. Anyone would be in good hands with Dr. Sweeny.

I had a colonoscopy on March 18, 2016. It was my first time for this procedure. Doctor Sweeney immediately put me at ease and his demeanor during my visit was exemplary. In fact the whole staff from the receptionist to the nurses, assistants and anesthetist were simply fantastic. I have to go back in five years for another colonoscopy and I will not have a seconds hesitation this time.
