Patient Comments
The PA [...] is wonderful, I communicated with her through the portal. She was able to make sure I could get an appointment with Dr. Sewards for my synvisc injection. Dr Sewards is the best, he is very caring, friendly and goes over all procedures and options for my care. He answers all questions and explains anything I don't understand.
Dr. Sewards truly cares about his patients. He doesn't rush through and make me feel like a number. He answers all the questions I have and explains everything thoroughly in a way that I can understand.
Dr. Sewards and the resident expressed appropriate concern for my issues and helped me come to the correct decision regarding my Healthcare needs.
Dr Sewards and his staff are the very best. I am so fortunate to have him as one of my doctors!!
Dr Seward and his team are always phenomenal.
