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.

Dr Swiggard is thee most comprehensive physicians I have ever met. She is amazing in diagnosis and assessments. Sees the whole person and works with their team as well. Dr Swiggard is a trans woman she/her/hers and goes by Dr Billie Swiggard. She is currently practicing at the Mazzini center in multiple across the board care. She is located in Philly.

The best Doctor visit I have ever had. Dr Swiggard had read all my information from Valley Med and Cooley Dickenson and came into the session with notes. At the age of 82 ,this is the first time this has happened to me... a truly prepared Doctor... I felt heard and understood....I have Chronic fatigue and Fibromyalgia.....as a result of a Post Viral Syndrome... 10 years I have been working on this and to find someone who truly understood me was wonderful .

Dr. Swiggard is a uniquely intelligent, compassionate, thorough and caring physician. He is always up to date on my labs and medical condition, and pulls all the details together. He discusses plans and options without abdicating his role as my doctor. Add to that his great sense of humor and you have an all around fantastic clinician.Dr. Swiggard is one of those doctors that leaves you feeling confident that you are well cared for and nothing will be missed.

This quite simply was the best doctoring experience of my life. Dr Swiggard was prepared, knew about me and my Lyme symptoms, he was thorough, he helped educate me, allowed time for me to respond and ask questions, and had a great sense of humor ta-boot! My appointment was great: educational, clear and fun. I would highly recommend Dr Swiggard ... I can not imagine what else a doctor or practice could do that could be any better. Thank You!!!

Best and most knowledgeable infectious disease Doctor around. Saved my life. Very compassionate and personable. His humanity is intact despite the obstacles other doctors have fallen to because of the constraints of the current medical model patients and doctors must endure. Five stars are not enough for Dr. Swiggard!!!

I am 70, so have had many different doctors over the years. Dr Swiggard is one of the best. I acquired a MRSA infection in my left hand from a cut I got in Costa Rica. 3 other doctors gave me different ab's, but Dr Swiggard got rid of it. The joint symptoms took a year to go away. After a CAT scan he said spent 45 minutes explaining everything, is extremely intelligent, caring and, well, all doctors could learn from his bedside manner.
