Very capable professional
Dr. Swami is good when we see him.
Just love him he is very knowledgeable and smart! So glad he is there to help me with my cancer
Dr.Swami has listened whe we've asked multiple questions whether in person or messsaged on the MY Charte app, and he and his staff have responded promptly to each inquiry which is greatly appreciated. To date I am very comfortable with Dr. Swami and belive he will guide me to making the best choices and decisions for treatment as we move forward.
Interesting approach. Diagrams and pictures (not professionally drawn) but identifiable. Great presentation of my cancer and the type of treatment necessary. He explained all my choices and helped me to the decision that I thought was the right one for me. It was a lot of information to absorb and Dr. Swami took the time to explain everything, sometimes 2 or 3 times as I did not get it all on the first go around. Considering why I was there; I was happy for the doctor that I had handling my treatment.
After my initial consultation with Dr, Swami I felt confident in the course of treatment.

He is a great doctor, the treatment he picked for me 6 months ago, is working very good. He listened my concerns and understood my fears . He is smart and flexible trying to find a point of balance vetween my fears and my treatment and I think that is a beautiful skill in a doctor, for me, means he care about not just my body health but also my peace of mind. We are body, soul and mind, and in the treatment of cancer for me it was very important he listened and understood those 3 sides of myself.....I am very grateful to him and wish him a long and beautiful life helping people like me as he is doing.....

Without sounding prone to hyperbole, I literally trust Dr. Swami with my life as I navigate these choppy waters during my cancer journey.
Es un doctor muy profesional y explica muy bien
Again, my only complaint is having me wait nearly an hour for an early morning appointment. I had scheduled my time adequately, and this made me rush to my other appointments. I was visibly upset and communicated my concerns to the team. This is not the first time he ran late on my appointments.

Happy to him for my Dr. need more of him.

I am very impressed by the thoroughness of all of the personnel in their dealings with me
Dr. Swami is very good at listening to my concerns and suggestions.
I felt that I could trust them.
Dr Swami asked me to stop taking my Atorvastatin in the hallway after we had left the room and we did not have time or opportunity to discuss the reason.
Dr Swami showed me what was going on and answered all my questions. I felt like I could trust his judgement and plan to do exactly as he thinks best.
My opinions are taken into consideration on any treatment the doc proposed.
good
Could benefit from more of an explanation of what the lab results were, a summary explanation of what has taken place so far, and summary explanation of what was next. Although MRI wasn't involved in this visit, would benefit from an explanation of what they are showing, and not trying to flip through MRI scans at the moment of the visit. Would also like to see more documented information and plans rather than a few minutes of just a verbal conversational visit.
good
Very good doctor.
