Patient Reviews
Jan 04, 2022
I am shocked to read the two negative reviews as my husband has been seeing Dr. Swales for over 3 years and he has been so kind and informative every visit. He is on top of every test he orders and always provides detail and information we can understand. Please, don't believe those 2 negative reviews, Dr. Wales is a smart wonderful, caring doctor.
