I have only positive things to say about Dr Swanson and his team. I am only 3 days post op from breast augmentation and me and my husband are both already very pleased with Dr Swansons work : Can't wait for my final results and am just so glad I went through with the procedure. All the staff are so sweet and warm. I'm honestly super glad I came across and chose Dr Swanson. He's amazing.

I can't say enough about my experience with Dr. Swanson. Over the years, I've had several procedures done and have had wonderful results every time. Dr. Swanson has always been great about explaining procedures and has helped manage my expectations in terms of results and recovery. He's meticulous in his work and it shows. He is up to date (if not the creator of) innovations within the field. I highly recommend Dr. Swanson.

Had a first procedure done with dr Swanson and it went so smoothly he was great. I went back and had BA and so far so good and was such a smooth transition. He's a very caring and nice doctor and will answer any questions but honestly I didn't have many because he was very thorough in the beginning. His staff is amazing and 100% happy so far with everything.
If you want a great dr and someone who listens to what you want and concerns you have then dr Swanson is the one. Will recommend friends to him if they're ever looking for a great PS.

So I'm a little late on this review as I am 6wks post op from a tummy tuck and liposuction! If I could give this place more stars I would in a heartbeat! I did my research for two years prior to finally picking a surgeon. I have to say going with Dr. Swanson and his staff was the best and smartest choice I could have made! They are all very welcoming and are always concerned about their patients well being.
The service is top notch at this clinic, with top notch bed side manner that got my win. I am very thankful for this center and their abilities for caring even after the work is done! Thank you so much, you have changed my life!

I recently had labiaplasty performed by Dr Swanson and I absolutely love my results and I'm only a week post op! DR Swanson and his staff were extremely professional and accommodating they told me how everything was going to play out from the first initial visit to the day of the surgery and made sure I was at ease, also would like to add their socks and gown the day of Surgery were kept warmed which I thought was a awesome touch! I most definitely recommend his services.

Look at the reviews first most importantly the 1 star reviews just to get the feel yes this is a fake account so the owner replying to my review saying that they don't have a record of me is correct because this isn't my actual name please look at the reviews before you go here and notice how the owner replies to some of the 1 star reviews with petty comments of his own go elsewhere and if the excuse of a human being owner replies to this just know i couldn't care less

First let me say I really like Dr. Swanson and his staff. They are kind and upbeat and very willing to answer questions. Dr. Swanson works so well with his staff and you can tell they function as a solid team. Second, with any surgery, but definitely cosmetic you have to have realistic expectations. I am very happy with the outcome of the procedures I had. Dr. Swanson also was very quick to address the one concern I had to make sure I am 100% happy.
That speaks volumes. He cares most about the health of his patients but the happiness too. I love that. He listened to the subtle things I pointed out and gave me a solid plan to address them even though my initial result is great. Third, I work in healthcare and safety is paramount to me. The added steps he takes for infection control are not something I've seen done anywhere else including the hospital I work at.
It made me feel so much safer. Also, his routine checks for vascular issues are so important and also not typically done. Blood clots are one of the most dangerous post operative complications and this simple screening can detect them before they cause life threatening complications. He made this nervous nurse that knows too much feel safe. For that I can't thank him enough. Dr. Swanson has also worked on my daughter and son-in-law who both were so happy.
That's why I chose him. He treated my family like family. In choosing to undergo cosmetic surgery make sure you are psychologically ready for the change and have realistic expectations. If you fit that category and want to proceed trust that Dr. Swanson will work to get you a result you are happy with. I would not hesitate to recommend him. He and his staff are just so wonderful people with an artistic eye and a skilled hand.

All I can say is Dr. Swanson and his team are AMAZING! I went in for a consultation in May for a breast augmentation and Dr. Swanson answered all of my questions and walked me through the process of what to expect during and after the procedure putting all my worries to rest! He helped me pick a size that would be right for my body and I scheduled a surgery for the next week. BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE.
He did such a beautiful job and I could not be happier! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone! His staff is amazing and so kind as well which was just icing on the cake for me. Absolutely will see him again for future procedures!

Dr. Eric Swanson is a true artist and a god-send. I had my first breast augmentation in December by Dr. Hodge at Monarch Plastic Surgery. I will be writing a bad review on his page. I won't go in depth of the horrible job he did to my breasts. I went to a few other surgeons to get a second opinion and Dr. Swanson was one of the surgeons I visited.
One of the best decisions I ever made was going to him to fix my breast augmentation. I loved his plan of action and everyone was SO extremely loving. I am only one week post op but they are just fabulous. He takes a blood test, tests for clots before surgery, after and a week post op. He really cares about his patients. This man knows and understands the human body and looks at each individual and doesn't just throw a size on you.
He knows what he is doing. When I went back for my one week post op all the wonderful nurses came in to see how I was and I really felt like I have known them forever. I could go on and on but trust me, visit Dr. Swanson, you will not be disappointed!

I had an amazing experience with Dr Swanson and his entire staff. I got a breast augmentation and I'm obsessed. Dr Swanson was very helpful in picking the right size for me. He was always super sweet and professional. His staff is equally amazing! So sweet and personable. Always made sure I was comfortable and they remembered me right away every time I went in. Janis is an absolute gem! If I ever need anything else done I will for sure go back there!

I had a breast reduction a few days ago, and Dr. Swanson and his team went above and beyond any expectations I could have ever imagined. From the very first phone call to my 24 hour follow up after surgery, Dr Swanson and his staff have made me feel safe, and confident that I am in the best hands possible. My surgery was wonderful and I am impressed beyond belief with my results. I'm not really sure that I could ever recommend him enough. Clean, confident, professional, and every other good word I can think of. I am a 100% satisfied lady!

I truly don't believe there are enough positive things I could say about Dr. Swanson and his staff. My experience there was beyond impeccable, and Dr. Swanson does immaculate work. I chose to visit Dr. Swanson for a revision after having complications with two breast augmentations from a different surgeon. I was extremely frustrated with my surgeries, and began to feel like I just wasn't meant to have the breasts that I had always wanted.
I went in for a consultation hoping to hear the doctor felt comfortable correcting my case, and by the time I left I had completed my pre-op appointment, and left with my surgery scheduled four days later. Dr. Swanson took the time to explain to me the difference between the different implant profiles, sizes, and types (saline or silicone). He helped me choose a size and profile that would be flattering on my figure, and here I am one month later happier than I could ever have imagined. Dr. Swanson, and his staff, took amazing care of me during, and after, surgery. I could not be any happier than I am currently, and strongly encourage anyone in need of an incredible surgeon to schedule a consultation!

Dr. Swanson, his team, and his facility are top notch. From the first consultation, through the surgery, and during follow up appointments, all aspects are handled very professionally. Dr. Swanson did my breast augmentation, lower body liposuction, and fat transfer to my lips. I am extremely pleased with all of the results so far and I am only a month out! I would highly recommend his practice to anyone seeking a quality surgeon with years of experience, excellent results, and a dedicated professional staff.
