Wow, I've tried with her. She is controlling & judgmental. She does not appreciate my input. I am a person who will be involved in my care. She wants to say what she has to say and doesn't listen. She actually talks over me. She wants me to come in every 4 months for lab work & a follow up reading. I recently went in for my annual Medicare physical. I was asked by the pre-visit provider, all the questions. I reported frightening symptoms of depression/anxiety which I was feeling. Clearly she did not even review my information. When I told her my antidepressant was not working she said she would change my medication (a week later not done, according to my pharmacist). When I told her that I couldn't find a psychotherapist she informed me, "there are no psychotherapists in the Valley"; seemed to have a real problem with my terminology. Her response was "you still want a 'counselor' ? I changed you medicine." I hear a lot of judgment. I found a report, from September of last year (2021) in my Portal of a chest x-ray she had ordered for chest congestion. The report stated "evidence of chronic interstitial fibrosis." Although this can be serious and she had ordered it, she apparently had not seen it or told me about it. Her only response was "do you want to see a lung doctor?" I have the appointment now. There was NO examination during my Medicare wellness visit last week; she only listened to my heart. She read off my vitals including my temperature 94.6. When I told her no one had taken my temperature she said "well it says that right here." (I had been running a low grade fever from a stomach virus.) She did nothing more plus she reported the number on my record, as if I were lying. When I mentioned my chronic pain she got down right belligerent; told me "you have had enough tests" (even though I had not asked for nor suggested any). Then she began to read them, my tests, going back more than 2 years, even before I began seeing her. This is not an isolated incident. Her method of "medical care" is to tell you what she wants to say and read off your most recent lab & any other tests & have you come back every few months to do the same. Her paradigm leaves the "human" she's treating, totally out. This is unhelpful, if not dangerous. She has some good reviews so I think there must be people who prefer this method OR.... just don't know any different way. As a retired 40 year Registered Nurse from Kansas I have never even heard of this kind of "care" and truly don't understand how it could be construed as even okay with any patient. read more

I love Dr. Dr. Swarup. She is one of the few doctors in the valley who I feel is truly competent and honest. I went to her for my thyroid. She was the first doctor here in the valley who knew to do a full thyroid panel. I did not have to ask her for it. So, she is very knowledgeable. Second, I only see female doctors because many, not all, male doctors do not listen; she does. She has been taking care of my health for 20 years and I have been doing great. I recommend her to all my friends. She is truly the best! read more
