I found Dr.Swonke's practice as I searched for a dentist for my elderly mother. She needed dentures, and I wanted a dentist who would treat her with respect and patience. It was the greatest blessing that we found Houston Medical Center Dental. Dr.Swonke's staff, especially Maria and Yolanda helped me arrange her first appointment from a distance, answering all my questions and setting up everything needed. Dr. Swonke has been everything we hoped for. He has treated my mom with so much care and kindness, answering all her questions and concerns. He has used his expertise and skill to give her perfect

Love this dentist! You know when you find that one dentist that does a great job and you decide to stick with them forever. That's the feeling I got after my first appointment here when I was trying a few different dentists in town. I highly recommend Dr. Swonke!

I would give a Zero if possible. I made an appointment for a CLEANING. After almost hour waiting in the waiting room. Then another hour of xrays. The hygienist told me I needed a deep scale cleaning. She gave me the price and I said not right now. She refused to due a regular cleaning. She said "I cant because you need a deep scale cleaning" Two hours of day wasted. However, she had time to start my deep scale cleaning but no
time for a regular cleaning The dr. is good but the hygienist was terrible.

I've been a patient of Dr. Swonke's for over a year. The service is excellent and the hygienists are extremely nice and professional as well. Dr. Swonke is extremely thorough, kind, and knowledgable. I've never had a dentist like Dr. Swonke, I definitely recommend his practice. Thank you Dr. Swonke!
