Everything was great, but I wasn't able to schedule my annual exam until after the 1 year mark, and then I had to wait 3 months for an appointment. I understand there is an insurance requirement, but I wish there was some way to schedule the annual ahead of the 1 year mark (for an appointment after the 1 year mark). I love my provider, she is awesome!
Providence Patient
Good listener. Fast response and analysis of test results via MyChart.
Providence Patient
Dr. Swank is wonderful, professional, and takes my concerns seriously. She responds quickly.
Providence Patient
Overall office visits are exceptional. The staff are kind, caring and professional. One thing that would make the experience better would be a more thorough follow up of test results.
Providence Patient
Dr Swank and the rest of the care team always takes care of me during my visit and also on times I have questions on phone and online
Providence Patient
Good provider overall - I am using Swedish only for annual check up. I am using other clinic for urgent care as it is hard to get appointment for urgent Issues. I booked my annual wellness 4 months In advance.....

Providence Patient
Dr. Swank, is excellent. She has helped me a lot. She may have saved me... Insisting that I do an Angiogram that I was hesitant about. She was right I was 81% blocked in left coronary artery. She is very good, I owe her a lot.
Providence Patient
Dr Swank is an exceptionally knowledgeable and professional physician. I couldn't ask for better.
Providence Patient
I feel like Dr. Swank cares about my health and is an important ally in managing my care. I see multiple specialist providers outside of her practice and she always tracks the big picture with my complex conditions. She does exactly what a primary care provider should do - very satisfied with my care and I have a high degree of confidence and trust in her.
Providence Patient
This was my first visit to Dr. Swank to establish care. It took 6 months to get a "new patient" appointment. Hopefully that means established patients will have easier access to primary care. Dr. Swank was professional and listened to my concerns and needs. It was a good first visit.
Providence Patient
Dr> Swank is a very good PCP for me. Show listens and shows her concerns for me. I like her VERY much!

Very pleased
Providence Patient
I had some health issues pop up from my last visit. All that was discussed & some tests and a follow up are in the works.
Providence Patient
It took a very long time, about 9 months, to make an appointment with any physician at Swedish. We are very pleased and grateful to connect with someone as great as Dr. Swank. However, I live in West Seattle, and it was absolutely impossible, not even a waiting list, to find a doctor there. Traveling to downtown is difficult. I am very, very happy with Dr. Swank. I would like to suggest, on behalf of everyone in their 90s who needs to find a new doctor, that Swedish try to be more helpful, somehow. I am so glad I was able to make it 9 months without any very serious health issues. Dr. Swank is a treasure.
Providence Patient
