Dr Sweiden is amazing. Warm, insightful. Makes you relax to talk about stuff and respects your input.

My mother had gone in for biophy . Upon completing the biopsy we went up to the take her home and asked for the doctor. They told us the doctor already left but would call us that day to follow up on the procedure. Dr. Sweidan never personally called even after reaching out to his office 3+ times. His office staff never fully communicated our message to him. He might be a good doctor but he has horrible bedside manner for his patients. read more

He is very knowledgeable and through. We almost always use doctors at Hoag and his office personnel are very helpful read more

Amazing service. Short waiting time. Attentive and knowledgeable physician. Dr Sweidan is the best.! He went extra mile to listen and make the right diagnosis. He even called the other consultants to expedite the appointment. read more

I had a consultation with him last month. He was very polite and thorough in explaining not only all the tests and exams he was ordering for me but why they were relevant and how they will help better elucidate the issues I've been having. I would recommend him to anyone in my family or friends. He was so compassionate and funny. Cannot recommend enough. read more

Found him not my kind of Doc. Big ego and no empathy for my discomfort .., more interested in my doing tests over in his office that I had done at Saddleback Hospital. Obsessed with telling me to lose weight uncaring that I had just lost 30 lbs with my accident. Not worth waiting to see him! My CT scan oDisc from another hospital besides his beloved Hoag mysteriously disappeared in 1 hour. His assistant got my office notes mostly wrong.,unacceptable read more

Very anti social,.. i suppose he is a good pulmonologist, but his 'bedside manner' is poor.. He told me to get out of his offie and to not come back. "I had too many questions". When my husband was admitted to Hoag 2 months previously, for a colonoscopy and an endoscopy we had no idea there would be a doctor washing his lungs out. That was "Dr Sweiden". He came into the surgery, and declared to the other doctors, "I want to go first" He used the endoscope from one of the staff doctors to do his Washing of the lung, Why? "I wondered".(who ordered that?) Not our gastroenterologist. We never saw Dr Sweiden again until our cardiologist told us to contact him, and see what he had found if anything, Meanwhile, our hematologist said there was "tissue at the base of the lungs which appeared to be a mass" ..And so my husband. (who has memory problems), and myself made an appointment with Dr. Sweidan to ask why there was a discrepancy between the hospital and his reports.. Dr Sweiden yelled at me when we first entered the inner office (with a PA I assume, who was recording all that took place??. That's another thing I found odd. . When I tried to explain the discrepancy, between doctor reports and the fact that the doctor that followed my husband through Hoag NB when he was admitted for "unknown blood loss",had called 7 weeks after he was discharged, He told me to "be quiet" that I was not the patient". and to "never come into his office again, I wasn't welcome". That was pretty upsetting.. I have never been treated by a medical professional in that manner. I told him we paid $600.00 for that procedure" and he retaliated with" YOU DIDNT PAY THAT. YOUR INSURANCE DID" WHAT THE HECK?? We were missionary pilots that flew doctors into remote areas of Mexico and Brazil for 25 years .Doctors are human beings. Our experience with the many professionals, that flew with the Flying Samaritans and International Missions, was, we were all the same on the mission field.. I must have assumed Dr. Sweidan was like our doctor volunteers, and didn't think more highly of himself than he ought, but I was mistaken. He seems to think he is better than his patients..My husband said in the parking lot after the "visit", We aren't going to this office again, ever." the patient that saw him on September 1, 2023 said it all. "Big ego and no empathy for my discomfort" read more

Dr. S is the best!! He's been taking care of my family for a couple years now. He always takes the time with my family and listens to us. Can't explain how much this means to us knowing we have someone who cares so much. read more

Dr. Sweidan is absolutely exceptional. He is a straight shooter, and was absolutely sympathetic to my desire to explore natural/holistic alternatives. He is extremely sought after and thus, is busy. So he doesn't have time to listen to you talk about your cat, but if you want quick, top-notch, no BS medical care, Dr. Sweidan is the doctor for you. read more

I was having trouble while doing cardio for awhile. I've never had any medical problems before. I went in to Dr. Sweidan and he did a full exam on me. He listened to all of my complaints and asked questions based on what I was telling him. He ordered blood work, full pulmonary function testing, and imaging. In the end he gave me different samples of things to try and listened to what I noticed worked and didn't and we finally got me to a place where I can workout and not feel gassed. Everyone in his office was amazing. I look forward to seeing him again. read more

I took my mom to see Dr. S and she was instantly comforted by him. He goes into great detail about every question we had and he encouraged us to not only ask him any questions about why we were seeing him but he also explained the blood work and pulmonary function testing he was ordering. My family received great care and we were at ease leaving knowing we were with someone who cares. read more

I saw him in Hoag Hospital. He did an excellent job. He knew I was from out of town and was able to let me leave a day earlier than anticipated. He is pleasant, extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. I feel as if I got the best doctor possible for my serious health scare. read more

Dr. Sweidan has been my pulmonologist for around 1 year now. The time he puts into explaining information and test results is second to none. My father has never received such close and personal medical care. Highly recommend. read more

Dr Sweidan is an amazing physician ! My wife and I have been very impressed with his expertise and bed side manner.

I came to Dr. Sweidan with a chronic cough that I had for over a year trying to find out what was going on. Initially, it was alarming that I might have some form of not good interstitial lung disease, but after discussions with Dr. Sweidan he provided me with good directional information on what I probably had. After comprehensive blood and pulmonary funtion tests, he outlined first a conservative course of therapy and then a more comprehensive therapy. Throughout the process, my communications with Dr. Sweidan and his staff were informative and timely. I ask a lot of questions as an informed patient and Dr. Sweidan was great at providing answers to keep me informed of my progress. Chronic lung disease is not a 'take a pill and it will go away' disease, so for me its critical to have a clinician who engages me in my care. I'm at the beginning of this journey and have ways to go to see what happens, but I feel confident that Dr. Sweidan will help me get to the best place possible. read more

I highly recommend Dr Sweidan. He is very professional, very knowledgeable and kind. He is one of the best Dr in Orange County. I would give 7 stars if i could read more

Dr. Sweidan is an incredibly thorough and attentive physician. He has been taking care of Mom for over 2 years now, and I'm steadily impressed by his attentiveness and care. He takes the time and asks all the right questions to provide the best possible care. More importantly, he patiently answers every question, big or small, that we ask him. In this day and age, when doctors are rushing you out the door to see the next patient, this is crucial. I can rest easy knowing Mom is in good hands. read more

It is not easy to find a good doctor these days. Everyone seems in a hurry, too busy to listen and too concerned to get to the next patient . Somehow Dr Sweidan made me feel like he had all the time dedicated to my care. He was very thorough and very systematic in identifying the root of my complaint rather than trying to rush me out the door with a treatment for my symptom. I left his office with a good understanding of what was wrong with me and a clear management plan. He took the time to personally follow-up and ensure that his plan worked. Big thanks to his office who accommodate me in a timely manner. read more

I've been receiving care from Dr. Sweidan as my primary care physician for 2 years now and every time I see him he continues to impress me with his thorough questioning, follow ups from the previous appointments, and overall quality of care. It is very clear that he is doing what he loves and that he is truly invested in his patients' well-being. Though I do not require it, it is great that he is multi-lingual and is able to serve a variety of patients in their home language to help us feel comfortable and heard. read more

Dr. Sweidan is a very kind and thorough physician. He really takes his time when seeing patients and listening to their concerns. He is very respectful. His knowledge base is also excellent and the patients feel safe under his care. Also, I truly appreciate that we don't have to wait too long in his office to be seen by him. Would highly recommend Dr. Sweidan! read more

Dr. Sweden has been my family's primary care provider from 2017. His care and attention to my health concerns has been so wonderful that almost it eliminated my need to go to specialist. He came up with a plan to help reduce my symptoms and along the way he was sharing the resources and helping me to educate myself about my condition. I have been in control of my condition ever since and I have it all from Dr. Sweidan. He is also helping my father and I to cope with his Parkinson's disease easier. He is emailing me the articles on the current medication my father is taking to help my mother and I to better understand how to deal with my father's though time.My father loves to see him because he is very kind and patient with him. Dr. Sweidan listens. He thinks. He comes with a plan and most importantly he follows up to measure the treatment process to make necessary changes. I have never been under such incredible PCP care before and I wish such wonderful care for every patient. read more
