This survey ask how often did the providers wash their hands. It was not applicable, because they wore gloves. Maybe adding an additional choice of “wore glove” should be added. I never saw anyone washing their hands. Wearing gloves seemed very appropriate.

Always very professional, caring and seems to genuinely love his patients and job.

10/27/2023

Allow telehealth for appointments that don’t need an in person evaluation. Especially in a state where Boise is only city with these doctors. Waiting three months for an appointment, driving three hours for the appointment that could easily take 5 minutes on the phone or video call, just to schedule another appointment many more months away for treatment. Insanity.

10/17/2023

I will make the longer drive due to my move, just to be able to continue using Dr. Swensen.

10/16/2023

Utmost professionalism

05/18/2023

Very well kept office. Courteous personnel.

If you have ingrown toenails, this is the only place to go. Have been to other doctors, who have only made the problem worse. Our experience with this clinic was 10/10!!

05/16/2023

Dr Swenson suggested an affordable first step for my feet rather than immediately going to custom orthotics. He also said at some point I might chose to have surgery, but in my situation that could be years from now. He is honest and helpful, and I believe he will not suggest expensive products or surgery unless they are necessary. I felt very reassured he was a top notch foot doctor.

In the ratings choices, I would have marked excellent if that choice was available
