We had a very pleasant, useful and informative meeting with Dr. Swalec. He gave us a thorough explanation of my condition, my options and the likely outcomes thereof. He also listened carefully to our questions and gave us straightforward answers, interspersed with a gentle sense of humor. I have the greatest confidence that with Dr. Swalec's direction I will receive the best care possible for my condition.
Dr Swalec used me as a human guinea pig to test a new "state of the art" machine. When I started developing serious complications - he minimized them. He later admitted to me that he had to jerry rig my treatment and it ended up sending too much radiation to my colon. Dr Swalec was rude and uncaring even when it became clear that he had caused unnecessary damage to me. I ended up having to get follow up treatment out of state and am suffering as a result. I would never recommend Dr Swalec.
He is a wonderful doctor who tells you honest answers. It’s a bit shocking at first to hear some of his blunt answers, but in retrospect, I wouldn’t have wanted to make any decisions about my health that are this important without his honest input. He saved my life and the life of my cousin and another friend. Outstanding doctor, who always has honest, sometimes slightly brutal answers.
He doesn't listen! He speaks over you and interrupts during conversation. He tries to guess your questions and blurt out yes/no answers, and doesn't seem set-back when the question is rhetorical. If you want to talk to someone about a serious oncology decision in your life, don't see Dr. John Swalec. Used car-salesman mentality. I think he's more concerned with selling radiation more than the patient and their health.
