Kyle E. Swanson's Online Review Report Card

Excellent, He has completed surgeries on my shoulder and knee. He literally saved my right leg from amputation. He is amazing, five star rating in every category. His staff are caring and professional. His P. A.’s are highly trained and the best. I would highly recommend Barton Memorial Hospital in South Lake Tahoe for all your procedures.

My husband and I have had a total of 4 knee surgeries and many other office visits for strains and sprains. Dr. Kyle Swanson is knowledgeable, thorough, timely, personable, takes many insurances, sticks to his surgery schedule and fun to talk to!!! We've never had a "less than completely satisfactory experience" with Dr. Swanson and his whole office staff - P.A., M. A., admin. and bookkeeping.

Kyle Swanson did a fabulous job on my total knee replacement. This was the first utterly smooth surgical experience I’ve ever had. I had my surgery on 1/20/2020. I did the recommended 4 physical therapy sessions before my surgery and I healed incredibly fast. It probably helped that I followed all of the doctor and physical therapist’s directions to the letter. My post surgical pain level was almost less after my surgery than before. I only required prescription pain meds for 4 days, after that ibuprofen did the trick. I have several drug allergies and Dr Swanson handled it perfectly. Dr. Swanson and his staff are friendly and professional. I want to give a special thank you to Dr Swanson for taking away my painful crunchy knee. I’ve been able to be much more active so I’ve even lost a good amount of weight. I think it’s pretty great that he’s a veteran too. Michael and Dottie are remarkable too. I think we are lucky to have a doctor like him in this area.

A terribly skilled orthopedic surgeon and a very uncaring doctor. Just a few years after knee replacement I still have debilitating pain daily.I saw a doctor in another state who took only 10 seconds to say that the previous doctor i e Swanson put in the wrong size hardware in my knee. I had a second knee replacement to fix Dr Swanson's mess. Not only was the spacer the improper size they found spacer fragments and bone fragments and a big piece of bone left in my knee. Yes poor technical skills! Uncaring you bet. I told and then pleaded with Dr Swanson to please find out why I had such terrible swelling and pain one year post-surgery.He just shrugged his shoulders and said you're fine see you on your next checkup. Don't let this doctor touch you. stay away and even go to another state or country before you let this man perform surgery on you.

He is outstanding! Very thankful that I am doing better!!

Dr. Swanson gave me my lifestyle back. After visiting another orthopedic surgeon in the area (different clinic) who told me that surgery would not help my knee and I just have to live with it, Dr. Swanson did arthroscopic surgery, cleaned up the menicus and bone spurs, and I'm back to downhill skiiing, snowshoeing, and long-distance cycling. I am can't begin to express my gratitude.

I appreciate the fact that Dr Swanson did everything he could to avoid surgery. He made me feel confident in his abilities. His assisting staff were very educated and caring.

My very favorite doctor. I consider him to be a mark of excellence! He has performed 3 joint replacements on me with are far better than ever expected; left and right shoulders and right knee. I had a hip replacement prior to finding Dr. Swanson and it was not as satisfactory as the replacements done by Dr. Swanson. I highly recommend him and his group and have referred friends to them.

Great doctor. Great bedside manor. Would definitely recommend to anyone
