Charged over $100 for a 5 minute appointment where I got no real advice on my appointment topic and no insight as to what was going on. Did not receive an invoice until two month later also. Would NOT recommend scheduling an appointment here.

Giving this doctor even one star feels like too much. I had an absolutely terrible experience with Dr. Swinehart. My first consult, he barely looked at my skin and prescribed me an antibiotic (without telling me it was an antibiotic) and a topical which he also gave me no information on. I started the antibiotic and it made me feel terrible so I stopped, then when I went back in two weeks later, he tried to tell me 1.
He told me it was an antibiotic (not true) and 2. That no one else he's prescribed it to has had a negative experience (I find that very hard to believe, and even so, I did so why are you being rude to me about it?). That is just one example of how rude and disrespectful he was to me throughout my two appointments. This man does not care about your skin and barely takes the time to talk to you to address what you need to do to fix it. Save your time and your money and find a derm who actually cares about their patients.

I've had good experiences and results from Dr. Swinehart. He has done biopsies and they were read by a secondary pathologist. (Not sure why other reviews say they were not). He has also treated me for pscoriasis and acne. I have had significant improvement in both areas! Everyone is nice and friendly in the office as well. Appointments are quick and the scheduling has never been an issue for me. I would recommend this practice to anyone looking for a dermatologist!

I have been going to see Dr. Swinehart for many years. I suffered with severe acne as a kid and as a result I gained deep scarring on my face. I've had several services to take care of the scarring, performed by Dr. Swinehart, which dramatically improved my appearance. This of course helped me to secure my confidence in a world that judges people by appearance. I can tell you that Dr. Swinehart really cares about his patients, all over Colorado. He is compassionate, direct, listens, and will give you the results you are hoping for. Thank you Dr. Swinehart for your help over the years! I truly appreciate you and recommend you highly.
