Only go to Dr. Swann if you: \r
a) are 100% certain that there will be absolutely no complications during your pregnancy\r
b) do not mind feeling like a fool who's putting someone out for asking a few extra questions\r
Unfortunately I had to discover the hard way with Dr. Swann during my recent pregnancy. I encountered problems requiring closer attention than a typical pregnancy. It was then that I learned Dr. Swann is in this business to deal with the trouble-free, routine pregnancies only. Good doctors will step up to the plate when medical problems exist. Dr. Swann hides. I called his office numerous times over the last 2 weeks to have him check me out when numerous alarming signs began in my pregnancy. He would not see me because he closed his office for the Holiday season without an appointed backup to tend to his patients' needs while he was gone. On 4 seperate occasions his answering service paged him for me and he, in turn, said that if I wanted to be seen that I needed to go to the E.R.. Fearing a life or death situation, I went to the E.R. each time. The E.R. doctor was also puzzled as to why he was deflecting me to the E.R. every time instead of following my situation more closely. My final trip to the E.R. was in an ambulance holding my dead son who I gave birth to prematurely. That same day, Dr. Swann had denied me a visit that I had requested because he was not going to be in the office. He did not believe me that there was a problem. He refuses to listen to concerns from patients who know something is not right with their body. Many screams for help, 4 E.R. trips, and a dead son later and Dr. Swann STILL has not seen me nor contacted me. Dr. Swann abandoned me as well the baby inside me during the most desperate time of need I have ever encountered in my life. He left me hanging for 2 weeks. This is not the only Citysearch entry regarding Dr. Swann. Steer clear of him before it happens to you as well. Jim and Dee
