Update as of 5/5/21: It's been more than 1 year and I found myself back in Dr. Swartzon's office yesterday due to a high ankle sprain. His office was fully booked and short staffed, and the urgency of my injury was enough for them to find space to accommodate an appointment given the packed scheduled they were managing. The wait was minimal, the staff was wonderful and the news wasn't good but I know I'm in the best hands possible! Dr. Swartzon is a gem of a human being and a brilliant and talented sports medicine doctor. He is a doctor I'd wait hours/days to see and one I trust implicitly with my health and well-being. The new office facility in Plantation is also absolutely phenomenal!
2019:
Wow, I came on to review my wonderful recent experiences with the kind, attentive and utterly professional Dr. Swartzon only to be bombarded by this elaborate and excessive rant from a disgruntled former patient. Not only is that review overly malicious and miserable, I find it to also be virtually impossible because every single one of my referrals and experiences with Dr. Swartzon, his team, front/back office staff, and fellow doctors in the practice at different locations have been nothing short of phenomenal.
I have been suffering from bilateral carpal tunnel for the last seven years. I knew I needed to begin treatment so I started to reach out to my community for referrals and within a matter of hours had received 9 specifically for Dr. Swartzon. All from different and completely unrelated people I've never met. I went in for my initial consultation and he spent a generous amount of time reviewing my previous medical history, recent nerve conduction study, as well as discussing my options, and then proceeded to administer the injections we decided was the best initial course of treatment. He seemed empathetic to my pain and truly interested in helping me find resolution. In the months following, his office staff reached out to me to ensure the treatment worked and that I was pain free. I never had an issue reaching the office, scheduling appointments or receiving calls back from his team when I had questions. And after the pain returned and I scheduled a follow up visit, Dr. Swartzon yet again took the time to discuss the next steps with me and instead of just administering an additional round of billable injections, he instead advised me against it and referred me to the best hand surgeon who he knew could offer a permanent solution.
So to the future patients of Miami Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute and anyone with half a brain...don't let that blubbering "athlete" deter you from seeking the best in the business. Dr. Swartzon is a highly respected, incredibly talented and in demand sports medicine physician because of the care he provides, the manner in which he provides it, and the overall thorough quality of service he and his team are able to offer to their patients.
Dr. Swartzon does not chase fame or recognition, quite the opposite in fact. He is clearly dedicated to both his profession and patients, from the top level athletes to the little people like me. He is sought out because he is exceptional. And I'm quite certain that this highly reputable Sports Medicine Institute didn't earn its reputation by chasing appointments...that's just laughable. Moreover, I'd be more suspicious of the fact that this negative review below didn't provide any details about the "complex injury" they reference and then just happened to name drop another doctor who in a surprising twist of fate is opening a business in Florida next year. Do your due diligence people, and you'll be sure to realize Dr. Swartzon is the best. read more
