  • I have never met Dr. Swerdlow before and probably won't see him again but liked him very much... he was friendly and direct... seemed to know about my medical history and suggested that I continue on with my current plan... he explained the reasoning behind his recommendation...

  • The experience was very good, but the only problem was that we never got the report of the difference from when he was last seen and now, even though he verbally said it, but we don't know what the figures are. So that was the only thing. Other than that, I would recommend this provider. Thank you.

  • Dr. Swerdlow seems wry knowledgeable and easy to talk with. He went over all the test results with me, and explained his recommendations, and said he would be reviewing my case with Dr. [redacted] and other cardiovascular colleagues at their next bi-monthly aortic case review meeting. I tend to ask a lot of questions, and Dr. Swerdlow was very attentive in answering them fully. He even stopped back at the doorway of my exam room when he saw that my friend and I were still sitting there after he'd left the room. We were taking a minute to discuss things, and he stopped to make sure we were all set and to see if we had any further questions. I've been dealing with chronic genetic cardiac issues since I was a child. So, I very much appreciated this doctor's attentiveness to details, his ease in communicating with me, and his concern in making sure we had all our questions answered before we left.
