John R. Swan's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Swan has been my doctor for, oh, a decade now, and in that time, he's consistently been kind, supportive, caring but also, always tells you what you need to hear.

Dr. Swan appears very knowledgeable and professional. He has also shown great patience and a willingness to explore various causes for my conditions. I am well satisfied.

Dr. Swan has been my primary care doctor for the past few years. He is kind and understanding. He is also more thorough than any doctor I've had. You don't feel rushed. And he is so knowledgeable! However, he knows when you need to see a specialist and will refer you to one, when necessary.

Very rare to find a doctor who will take the necessary time with each patient, as Dr. Swan does with both my wife and me. Caring and extremely knowledgable!

Dr Swan had been our Dr. for over 30 years. When he transferred to Vancouver Clinic we were told that our insurance wouldn’t be accepted. We were very disappointed. Dr Swan had been an excellent Dr. who spent time with his patients and showed true concern. I wish they would make an exception for his long time patients and let us continue to see him and use our insurance.

Dr. Swan is a very smart investigative Physican. He takes the time to figure out your medical problems. He has improved my quality of life by listening to my symptoms and using the correct course of action. I'm glad I found him.

Dr. Swan is a wonderful caring doctor who is extremely knowledgeable in family medicine. I am a chronic pain patient who moved here from out of state and he helped me get the care that I need for my chronic condition, always treating me with respect, care, and concern. I am extremely drug sensitive, always having rare side effects, and Dr. Swan has been patient and methodical with finding solutions that work for me. When we moved here, my husband seriously hurt his back and at the same time, found out he had a hernia. Dr. Swan was instrumental in getting my husband into a neurosurgeon right away and he was able to have a surgery quickly with an excellent outcome. For the hernia, my husband wanted the repair to be done without synthetic mesh, and Dr. Swan took time to listen to his concerns and found the one surgeon in Vancouver who knew how to do the surgery without endangering my husband with synthetic materials that could have caused serious problems. Again, my husband had an excellent outcome. We both consider Dr. Swan one of the best primary care physicians we have ever had. And yes, there is a wait if you don't get a morning appointment, but that's because Dr. Swan is thorough, answering all questions and concerns before finishing the visit. Believe me, he is worth the wait!!!

Dr. Swan always takes the time to inform my wife and me with a detailed explanation of our medical problem and the effects of any medications he prescribes. We never feel rushed. There are times when we are required to wait beyond the appointment time but that is to be expected with a thorough, caring doctor and the needs of patients that have arrived earlier. The staff is courteous and efficient and there are usually PAs available for those immediate problems. Dr. Swan is simply the best

I went in with my mother in law, to help her. He was overly verbose, condescending, and slow. He did not appear to know what to do and therefore was prescribing yet another drug on top of the 15 she already takes. When we got to the pharmacy, the pharmacist refused to fill the prescription due to a drug interaction that would have been dangerous to her health. We never wait less than 1 hour - usually he is running behind 2 hours. He assumes we have nothing better to do than wait all day.

Too much waiting time. More that 2 hours
