he is the BEST...just wish I could have spent more time questioning him not that I know what I would have asked him...lol, I had some really bad co-morbidity's and he made sure all my issues were handled before surgery as well as after surgery, I feel he is very caring and knew his patients which is important to me. The staff what can I say ....they too are the best, always there for you when ever you need them before and after.
So far Dr. Swannack really cares about my emotional health going into the surgery which is good of course because he wants me to know what I am doing and how hard it will be if I am not commited to this.
My first impression of Dr. Swannack was that he was very knowledgable, and kind. I have not changed my opinion of him. All they way through he is very honest with me giving me his opinion but letting make my own choices. His ENTIRE staff is AMAZING! The program coordinater is a Nurse practitioner and she herself has had the proceedure. The other nurse in the office is also there for support and will answer any questions. Everyone in the office always greets you by name with a smile. I always look forward to my appointments.rnThere are so many great things set in place to make sure each person gets the best results. Such as online support, inperson support groups an interactive web site and much more. They always tell you that they are there to make sure that you get the best results possible.rnI had an hour consultation with my doctor where he explained every thing about the two different surgeries and then his recommendation for you. I was able to ask questions until I felt comfortable. Once I made my final choice between the two surgeries then I had another education appointment before surgery.rnI feel that surgical competence and bedside manner are both VERY important and Dr. Swannack has both. If I had to give him an overall rating on a scale of 1-10 I give him 12.
'Dr. Swannack is an excellent doctor on many levels and his support staff is fantastic. Dr. Swannack is compassionate
Dr Swannack was very kind and informative and I felt very safe and that his expertise was going to offer me an excellent chance of a no complications surgery! He visited me often in the hospital.
The staff is warm and supportive and more importantly are experienced with WLS, non-judgemental and are mostly patients themselves which was great!
I had studied about the surgery for about two years, and Dr Swannack talked about the risks in a matter of fact manner...for those of us who are overweight it is wonderful to not be talked down to or treated in a condescending manner...we are used to being invisible and discounted, you will not feel like that with his staff or himself.
Support group and follow meetings are important as there is so much to learn from others experiences..very reaasuring.
