Patient Reviews
Aug 28, 2021
I have used Dr Swicegood for over a decade and he has always listened to me and then explained what he could do for me. He has helped me to live a normal life with minimal pain over that time he has been able to control my severe back pain. I was saddened to hear that he was semi retiring I am not sure what I will do when he fully retires. I now live in western Colorado and travel to Fort Smith once or twice a year to see him. I have tried doctors here but they don't have his skill and are unable to treat me effectually. Dr Swicegood has been able to give me relief for up to 6 to 8 months at a time.
Thank you for sharing your feedback about Dr. John Swicegood, MD.
