Dr. Mark Joseph Swierzewski, MD

I have know Dr. Swerziewski for 25 years. Four years ago I was diagnosed with bladder cancer on a Wednesday. I called him that day. He said he’d see me right away and I drove from Sarasota to Lakeland the next day. He scheduled me for surgery the following Monday at Lakeland Regional and resected the tumor. He saved my bladder and probably my life.

Dr. Swierzewski was great. Knowledgeable, sensitive, informative… I immediately felt at ease – and felt confident in my receiving expert medical care. Staff was great, too. Walked away, very impressed w. the overall experience. HIGHLY recommend.

Dr. Mark Swierzewski is the best doctor in Florida. He is very caring and extremely knowledgeable and I would recommend him with highest rating

Dr. Mark is an amazing doctor that is very knowledgeable with great bedside manner. Everyone was friendly and very responsive to my needs. I have recommend Dr. Mark to a few friends and will continue to do so.

waited over an hour for less than a minute talk. was constantly trying to head for the door. he, himself, and the staff wrote down wrong important information on my grandma’s record and continued to argue that our information was wrong. never did anything about it until the second time we came back with wrong information still on her record. they kept arguing until he saw himself, after examining my grandma on a surgery that HE did, that he was in the wrong, never apologized. simply said “i have lots of patients, i get things mixed up” then left the room. HORRIBLE. highly DO NOT RECOMMEND. save your time and money, go to someone better.

Where do I even begin. I am beyond upset of how Watson Clinic treated my family today. Not only was the staff terribly rude to my family but it happened TWICE. Doctor Mark Swierzewski is unprofessional and so careless. After my cousin told him and his staff plenty of times that their records were WRONG he still did not listen until he himself had to do a procedure for absolutely nothing ! All he had to say was “well I was wrong” and not once did he apologize to my family. How could you be so careless and not apologize? This is upsetting and I hope no one else has to go through the same experience. Save your time and money if you truly care for your loved ones. In the process of finding a new doctor

In late 2015 I visited Dr. Mark S with a proven, (tested) low testosterone level. After a few questions he suggested and then wrote a script for a brain scan/MRI. I asked how often he requested these and he responded, approximately one in 20 to 25. Of those, he said that maybe another one in 20 or so might show an issue with a possible tumor on the pituitary. In my case, his supposition was correct, and a referral made to a neurosurgeon. Nearly four years later, the tumor had started to grow and impinge on my carotid artery, making me a "stroke waiting to happen". This (stroke) was not to happen though, since the early diagnosis prompted an annual MRI and I was able to monitor it. Fortunately the tumor was removed recently, and since his move from Tampa, I haven't contacted him to thank him personally. So, Dr. Mark, thank you SO MUCH!! From a "Simple" low testosterone level that I am sure many other physicians would have overlooked, the surgery went well!

Avoid this doctor. Made an appt. with this M.D. when I didn’t have a PCP, chiefly to get a scrip renewed. I always ask for all the paperwork ahead of time, so I can fill it out at home. They send me what they say is all the paperwork. I bring it to my appt., completed. However, then they confront me with numerous additional forms, with pharmaceutical company logos on them, asking questions designed to get me to talk to the doc about getting a scrip for a product made by those companies. I declined to fill them out. A very abrasive office manager woman then told me Swierzewski would not see me without them. I left. The Times soon after reported Swierzewski as having received thousands of dollars from the drug and device industries for pushing their products. His practice must not want to tip off new patients to what sort of doctor Swierzewski is, by deliberately withholding the big pharma-prepared questionnaires until you travel to keep your appointment, at which point Swierzewski won’t see you unless you complete them. I’d say this is one to avoid, since Swierzewski derives benefits undisclosed to you in order push drugs and devices, and won’t provide services to you unless you cooperate.

Waited over an hour. Called back put in a room for a few minutes then he came in said follow me. Went to his office and sat down and said why are you here what do u need a refill? No discuss my blood work. Shuffled some papers around and was very agitated gave me some papers for blood work and said come back in 3 months. That was it!! Total time about 3-4 minutes. Not really sure what happened? I got more info from the receptionist. Worst dr visit I've ever had. Not one question on how I was feeling or why I came to him in the first place. Had my papers and didn't even know my name. What a disappointment

Dr. Swierzewski performed a difficult surgery on in an emergency situation. Although it was major surgery and I am no longer young, he encouraged me and aided my recovery. He never gave the impression that he was rushed although he has a busy practice. Now six months later I am doing fine and confident in caring for my daily maintenance. I cannot recommend him too highly. I do not live in Tampa so my office visits were rare but went well.

Great doctor...if you need your prostate fixed he's the man.

He is the worst! He for a lack of skills & taking a very short visit & a apparent rush job x2 has caused me 4 additional surgeries. I wouldn't send a cockroast to this man!! It is a revolving door practice. Terrible bedside manner. I believe what u give comes back to u.

I did not like anything about the Staff and especially the so called doctor. He performed surgery and had the mesh pulled so tight it caused 2 gouges in my bladder. Not just that but the surgery had to be reversed...I went from being normal to wetting my pants. I could not even swallow my own spit. To make matters worse he cut my urethra off too short. I ending up going to a good Urologist and had to have the whole pelvis floor reworked. I never refer to this person as Dr Mark...I REFER TO HIM AS DR. BUTCHER!. Be very aware if you use this office.

1.Office staff was quick to respond to the urgency of my proble,2.PA was excellent to ask the questions for the visit,saving time for dr consult3.Dr reviewed the tests and results that I gave him, was concise in his diagnosis and solution4.Dr. performed surgery as soon as possible rather than looking at situations that would not work.5. Dr followed-up with appt 4 days later6.Summary-Dr right to the point, not wasting my or his time, knew what needed to be done and resolved problem. Very unlike other urologists in Tampa that I had consulted.

good, professional ,caring
