Patient Reviews
Dec 17, 2019
Dr. Swinton was our primary care physician for approx. 9 years. He recently retired, and I understand but am devastated. He always knew what was going on with us, he took however much time we needed with him, and always left with a smile because of how caring he and his nurses Kenzie and Lacey were to us over those years. He has the perfect disposition to be a family care doctor, and his absence has probably left others feeling disappointed, but I doubt anyone more so than myself.
