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.

Excellent Doctor and Staff. Went to my doctor in Indiana for 35yrs. Moved here and still drove back to Indiana 4 hrs away because I could not find someone I trusted as much as him. Well some Techs at Mercy Hospital suggested Dr. Sweitzer. I am so glad they did. He is not only knowledgeable, he and his staff are compassionate and caring. Everything is explained to you in laymen's terms so you understand the procedures and end results. I have a condition that is a bit out of the ordinary so I felt blessed that he took my case on and has been excellent in his care. Highly recommend this Doctor.

Absolutely horrible!!! Wound never recommend. Bedside manner is a 0. If you need to speak with him about anything, it's impossible. He doesn't have the time to answer any questions when you would like answers. My husband should have has his surgery months ago, he kept dragging it out with tests and procedures. We finally went to another Doctor and are so glad we did. The only regret we have is not doing it sooner.
