Dr. Swafford's Medical Philosophy
To be able to provide medical care is a privilege. I am very fortunate to practice my specialty. I strive to help. However, not every condition can be resolved. I seek to give you my honest opinion.
My focus of practice is limited. This allows me to have greater knowledge
of the conditions I treat. Even so, I can not know everything and will ask
for help.
My goal is to give you my full attention. However, the pressure and frustrations
of the practice of medicine in today's climate may get in the way. I should
have your confidence on every visit. If you do not feel comfortable about
your visit, please say so.
If you wish to have a second opinion, please ask. I will not be offended.
The intent of this Web site is to give you more information about your condition
and treatment, as well as to provide guidance of relevant and accurate web
sites.
