If you have problems after your back surgery,don't count on Dr Sweet to let you come back for an appointment to figure out what might be wrong His nurse was very rude over the phone.My husband had failed back surgery and has more pain then he had to begin with.. In the beginning Dr Sweet was very nice and gave us hope. He is also well qualified.One year after the surgery,Dr. Sweet did not want anything to do with my husband.Now he is on disability through Social Security.

I never have to worry about them overbooking appointments. They definitely believe in quality over quantity here and it is much appreciated. They always take that extra step to make me feel special. I always enjoy my appointments here. Their staff is the most friendly, welcoming staff I've ever dealt with. They are so warm and professional, and make the whole experience that much better. I haven't seen any coupons or discounts for this provider's office, but I haven't really looked. They never mention anything about promotions when I'm there. I love that I can count on them to work with me until they find a solution for my situation. Other places I've visited, seem to give up after they don't have an answer for me the first time, but not here.
