Testimonials

“I am extremely pleased with the results of this surgery/incision. I use the YMCA pool multiple times a week and the people there cannot believe that they don’t see any incisional scar. Many people have questioned me: 'did you even have the surgery?' - because they do not see a scar.”
Sue DurhamStaunton, VA
"As a registered nurse with 40 years experience, I will say that I have never encountered an office or practice - as a patient or as a provider - that has done a better job offering information and guidance for patients pre-and postoperatively."
Sherrel Bang, RNStaunton, VA
"I have recommended Dr. Swanson to family and friends and even a lady in a store checkout line and will continue to recommend her for knee replacement surgery."
Beverly TaylorStanardsville, VA
"I can work every day pain free thanks to Dr. Swanson. I feel like she gave me my life back."
Shari CollierRuckersville, VA
"To reach the famous kissing stone I had to climb 128 winding, narrow, slippery, and extensively worn stone steps. I made the climb and descent with no physical or confidence issues, something I could not have done prior to my joint replacement."
