Patient Reviews
Apr 04, 2023
I was referred to Dr. Swafford for hernia surgery. It was as good an experience as I could have imagined. Dr Swafford was very professional and gave me confidence that I was in very competent hands. I had all my needs and questions attended to and felt at ease through the entire time I was under his care. If I ever need a surgeon again I will insist on Dr Swafford.
