"I was nervous about having surgery on my breast. Having an extensive family history of breast cancer, losing my Mother, and her older Sister I was very concerned. Dr. Swistel explained the procedure, and insured me it was the best option especially with family history. Dr. Swistel’s manner was impeccable, it seemed we have known each other for many years. I was truly impressed, and felt very comfortable in his presence knowing I will have the very care."
