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 saw Dr. Swearingen in the hospital. He was cold and didn't explain the procedure to remove the Kidney stones. Just the PO problems.No communication with nursing staff at the hospital.I had my procedure over the weekend. I thanked him for coming in to do it for me.His response was 'Its not like I had a choice' and walked away.The extra stress was not needed. I am glad it turned out successful.

He didn’t really explain much you would think that he would want you to know what you’re going through and what involved in the healing process he acted like he didn’t want to be there

Amazing attention and care
Dr. Swearingen is very professional and gives his patients his undivided attention. He has been seeing my mom for her urinary tract infections and recommended Solv Wellness which has helped her tremendously. He even noticed that she was fatigued and not breathing well during her last visit. He called ahead to the ER and it turns out she had pnuemonia. He is a wonderful and amazing doctor. I would recommend him to everyone!

Great urologist
I've only had 3 or 4 visits with him. He is very professional and compassionate also very knowledgeable about any urinary problem you may have. His level of concern for my prostate cancer was amazing. I highly recommend him to anyone who has any type of urinary problems. By the way the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

I really like him. He calls me personally himself when I give urine to go over the results and talks about what we shall do. There's no middle person giving the messages which means everything to me this day and age. On top of being accessible, the office runs smoothly. The first time I went in, nurse bladder scanned me right away. He talks about what we can do and what the future looks like and I feel he's very easy to talk to one on one. I found his and another's profile cards at a dr's office and I picked him and I'm glad. I've been recommending him with anyone I speak to if they bring up urology issues.
