    Dr. Swaminathan has been a godsend to help me understand the cytomegalovirus that I have and how it is controlled. She listened intently to my concerns and questions then gives information in reply that is easy for a patient to understand. She has helped to remove my fear about the CMV controlling my life and always having to continually test to see how it is doing.
