I really like that Dr. Schweger recorded our conversation. I often feel like that is something that they can review after, even if it's not that same day, but they can review it after. We meet and then can look at any test results we had and compare what my description was to what the results were of the test. So I really appreciate the idea of recording our visit. Thank you.

Dr Schwager did a comprehensive intake and explained my arthritis to me in a way that exceeded my expectations. Her suggestions are meaningful, and I appreciated the attention she provided. She is an exceptional provider and I feel blessed to have her on my wellness team.

Yes, Dr. Schwager is very, very attentive. She listens and she's very easy to talk to. And I have numerous medical problems, especially rheumatological, and it's an ongoing process. So it's a good experience with the doctor, even if I'm suffering and everything like that. She took a course of action and hopefully I'll feel better after I take these medications. But yeah, I have a lot of different diseases, so I see her quite often, as I said. And anyway, I'd recommend her, you know, if people have rheumatological issues. All right. Thank you.

My condition is complex, and it's still new to me. I feel ok during the visit, but I sometimes have questions later. I send them through the portal but they often tell me to either talk to another specialist or make another appointment. While, I completely respect that process and boundary, it's often hard to get another appointment in a reasonable amount of time just to talk about my question. I really like my doctor, I just wish we either had more time or I thought of my questions faster.
