Hi, I just wanted to say that my care with Dr. Swackhammer has been fabulous and I'm sorry to see him retire. The only criticism I have is trying to get in for appointments can be extremely difficult, sometimes waiting three months. But in terms of the care I received when I was there, it was excellent. Thank you very much.

Dr. Swackhamer is the best provider I have ever been to. He has consistently given care above and beyond expectations and takes the time and care to know his patients as people not just cases. I have always had 110% confidence in whatever he has told me and give much credit to him for my current health. There are very few Drs that give his quality of care and his well deserved retirement will be a great loss to his patients and the community.

He has been one of the best doctors I have ever had. I am very sad to be losing him. With most the rest of the doctors I have felt like I was on a time or inconveniencing them and like I was on a timer.

Everything. After this appointment he told me he would be retiring within the next week or two. I was unhappy to hear the news (for me) but happy for him. He has an excellent reputation and I will miss him very much.

I can’t THANK him enough for his care for me over the last few years in determining when it was best to go in and replace my aortic valve and repair my [ ]. I believe his care for me is the same as it would be for his own father. I believe his care with respect to managing my [ ] helped keep me healthy and avoid additional [ ] problems. He would often called after hours to discuss test results. He also made it a point to stop by and check in on me following my [ ], ,even though he wasn’t the surgeon . I can’t say enough about his care and the time he spent with my wife and I, through the last couple years in discussing my condition and his thoughts on future treatment. As he is retiring, I will absolutely miss being under his care, but wish him the absolute best.. Dr.Swackhamer, THANK YOU so much!! May you have a long and health retirement! [ ]
