    How was your appointment with Dr. Swedler?

    Feb 27, 2019
    Dr. Swedler and Dr. Eugene Cho from St. Joseph Hospital performed emergency surgeries on me in December 2018. I am convinced the two doctors saved my life. My family had been told there was a significant chance I may not survive, but the doctors did what they do best and I'm alive as a testament of their skill. Upon meeting Dr. Swedler after surgery I found him to be warm and caring. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
