Dr. Swensen has a very clean facility and extremely modern practice. He embraces ultra-new technology, which I really appreciate and look for in a dentist. Unfortunately, despite all of the good, it is all ruined by his poor chair-side manners and that of some of his staff.
My wife and I both have had regular check ups as well as more advanced procedures with him, and each time he seems more into fraternizing with his staff like he's at a bar or something instead of paying attention to the treatment process. It's a disconcerting feeling, and it also comes across as disrespectful.
I don't mean for a dentist to be completely serious or anything like that, but Dr. Swensen just goes over the top in this area like no other dentist I've seen before or since--and I've cycled through probably two dozen dentists in my life.
Overall, the treatments seemed to work out okay--knock on wood--but the way he acts around his patients leaves a really bad taste in our mouth. It was so bad that we wanted to find another dentist, but he was so conveniently located for us at the time. We ended up moving, so now it's not an issue.
out of 5 stars
