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.

Great!
Always on time. Great listening. Wants to help.

Knowledgeable staff
The PA Rose was very knowledgeable. She answered all of my questions. The receptionist welcomed me to the office family on the way out since it was my first time too.

Can't get in when sick. Miss Treatment. Had to go to E.R. because he would not put me on any meds. that I needed, got so sick had to go to E.R. and the E.R. doctors wanted to know why my doctor was not doing anything for me. E.R. doctors were not happy since Dr. Sward is in the same hospital. The last time I went in to his office ,I was told that I only get 10 min. with Sward. He did not listen to what was wrong, wrote thing down wrong. The ins. co. still pay him the same amount/10 min as 30min.
