Saint Agnes Medical Center Hospital

Wow, Where do I start? I can only say I am living proof I am still alive because of the caring this wonderful man I have known over 5 yrs. Yes, I will admit I am Murphy's law. Can't denied that. I been in and out of the hospital most of my life but nothing will ever compare to this man who knows everything about anything of the human anatomy! I had 3 Gastrics due to problems and finally I had a RYNY. This man has saved my life! I was throwing up blood due to a dumb little staple and simple fix. I had an ulcer that I came in for time b4 that and Dr. Swartz had to have someone come and remove it. Simple fix. THO, this man saw something in a scan I didnt see and I would of never thought in a million years but I had Entromietral Uterine problems. Showed in my scans. He pulled his best friend in 3 secs I had a wonderful Gyno Looking at me to tell me I really needed a Hysterectomy due to Cells that didn't look right and wanted to make sure there weren't any cancer. In 48hrs I was in the O.R. Who do you know would do that for you? NO ONE! Not only does Dr. Swartz go over and beyond his duties he is a friend, a lifesaver, and the best DR anyone could get for Gastric Bypass. I would be a advocate for him if I could. I am 5 yrs out. Haven't gained nor have I lost. I am at my 120lbs and I couldn't be any happier. I love the staff (even tho I know I talk a lot , but they still listen lol ) I love Sarah who goes over and beyond! I know the rest of the staff (I know faces but not names sorry girls) are terrific and if you even think he is a bad Dr. You need to go back and check yourself. I am sorry but all these negative things said about Dr. Swartz compared to all the positive, You must be on something and those pain meds must of really been good! To Dr. Swartz and staff THANK YOU SOOO MUCH. My life and I am still here cause you cared! Dr. Swartz you never gave up on me. THANK YOU. I can't tell you thank you enough. If you are thinking of getting the gastric with DR.Swartz GO FOR IT ONE HELL OF A DR AND YOU WILL COME OUT SMILING AND LAUGHING!

Greatest dr. of all times
used him for RNY & urgency gallbladder surgery.

I was initially impressed with this surgeon. He did a revision that saved my life. I then recovered for a year, then was convinced to have a Gastric Bypass with some other fix-it surgeries I needed. Within weeks I was in Emergency surgery within an inch of my life. I had 4 pus (large) pockets in my gut, 2 leaks, he nicked my colon several times, I was septic, and dropped on the floor, and suffered 5 broken ribs, and both pelvis bones broken. I was to only find out about the leaks, broken bones, and other stuff a year and a half later due to needing yet another surgery due to still more complications. I went to pick up the records from him and the hospital, and spent four hours pouring over these records, and was astonished at the lies, and just not disclosing the facts. He is not in this for the patient. I do not recommend him unless you want a thoughtless job done. That is all I will say. The anger, and hurt has caused PTSD, and Panic attacks I had never experienced before.

When I first met the surgeons in this office I thought they were highly educated and knowledgable about bariatric surgery.

I have had an excelent experiance with Dr. Felix and Swartz in Fresno.Although I have been looking into surgery for years, the visit to their office was very informative. Stressing both the pre and post surgery requirements. I know that this will need to be a new lifestyl for me. I have a good feeling about surgery after attending their classes and examination. I have no idea how their bedside manner is but I can let you know later.

Dr. Swartz knows what he is doing. I would rate him very high on his professional manner and his skill. He strongly emphasizes after care. I feel he and Dr. Felix have an excellent progam to offer. rnrn

Dr. Swartz if a very humorous but yet very disciplined man. I like the way he makes me feel comfortable but at the same time he keeps it real and doesn't sugar coat anything. His office staff is very professional and the wait time to see him is never long. He strongly believes in aftercare and routine follow ups.

IT WAS CLEAN BUT THEY ALLOWED CHILDREN UP ON THE FLOOR TILL MIDNITE NOT COOL WHEN YOU TRYING TO GET BETTER

First impression was he's very confident in what he does. Liked his no nonsense bed side manner. Surgery date was on the 12 of March 2008. Very happyw/ my results so far. Can't say enough about Dr. Swartz. He's good @ what he does and is easy on the eyes too:) Beautiful warm smile. SO SEXY! Always look forward 2 my check ups:)

This man is outstanding. He is the reason my insurance company approved me. He called the medical director of my insurance company personally. I can't say enough good things about him. Oh and he's funny too.
