I was in an auto accident on a Friday afternoon. I had a lot of facial/oral trauma. Dr.Swanson worked me into his schedule on that Monday. He is very knowledgeable in his field. He showed me a lot of kindness and compassion. I spent the entire weekend unable to eat or drink. When I got there he discovered I had a fracture. He was very upset that the ER I was taken to didn't inform him of the fracture. He stated he would have come to me that Friday had he known.
I am so grateful for him. He gave me the ability to eat and drink back. His nurse June.. I cannot brag about her enough. She worked hard to get me into be seen as well. She called me first thing Monday morning and before I left my appointment that day gave me her personal cell phone number to reach out with any questions. She followed up with me that week to make sure I was okay. I absolutely recommend this office for any oral surgeries you may require.

Is 0 stars possible?????? I cannot believe the staff here! And Dr Swanson?? Cruel cruel people! Took my boyfriend in to get 19 teeth pulled, he paid $900 extra so he could be put under because he has had past trauma that has scarred him to the point of a crippling fear of it. Anyways, they get him back there and tell him "you were mistaken, you won't be put fully under, you will be in and out of it" okay so what the hell does anesthesia mean??? Well they were right he wasn't fully out of it and was awake the whole time and Dr Swanson didn't believe him and asked him " okay well what teeth did we pull first?" And my boyfriend told him and Dr Swanson just started laughing and said nothing more about it! He asked him in such a sarcastic smart mouth tone! My boyfriend was moving around and making noises and they were getting very angry at him and told him to stop and "control your breathing!" Like how are you going to treat people this way???? I get you're good at what you do but you put trauma in people that they can't come back from! Your staff misinforms people on what will happen and it's just bad communication and terrible terrible behavior toward patients. You all should be ashamed and with all these reviews I don't know how you are still in business. There is alot more I have to say but don't have the time to type it all.

Had an extraction and Dr. Swanson and his entire staff made it an easy process. The office let me know exactly what I needed to do and coordinated the procedure with my cardiologist. The procedure was quick and painless. The Dr. and nurse were very professional and friendly!
