Kyle Swanson did a fabulous job on my total knee replacement. This was the first utterly smooth surgical experience I’ve ever had. Dr. Swanson and his staff are friendly and professional. Post surgery, I’ve been able to be much more active so I’ve even lost a good amount of weight. I think it’s pretty great that he’s a veteran too. I think we are lucky to have a doctor like him in this area.
