He never made me feel rushed and ensured that all of my concerned were expressed and that all questions were answered in a way that was easy to understand.Most importantly, Dr. Sweeny made me feel very well looked after. His compassionate approach, attention to detail, and exceptional level of care gave me a great deal of confidence and reassurance.
