    Very friendly, personable. Seemed to seriously consider my profile of previous visits. I enjoyed meeting him.

    Dr. Swinton was very good to answer my questions. I just wish I wouldve ask him more questions which was my fault because the question came up when it was too late to ask anyone the questions I had. But everyone was very nice and attentive! Thank you very much!

    As my 4th post op visit, it was rather routine.

    I was especially impressed by Dr. Swiston's listening skills and his thoughtful consideration of my issues during a pre op exam. He explained the cause of a condition causing me concern and how to clear it up. He then immediately got back to me by telephone two days later when I called to report a reaction to newly prescribed eyedrops and he prescribed an alternative prescription compounded by the Moran pharmacy. Both Dr. Swiston's professional care and personal interactions were OUTSTANDING!
