Your Trusted Primary Care Physician in Pasadena
As a dedicated Primary Care physician, I founded this practice to provide comprehensive, patient-centered healthcare rooted in integrative medicine. With over two decades of experience, I emphasize preventive care, nutrition, and lifestyle modifications to address the root causes of health issues rather than just symptoms. My approach combines conventional medicine with evidence-based complementary therapies, ensuring personalized care tailored to each individual's needs. I hold affiliations with Huntington Memorial Hospital and Methodist Hospital of Southern California, and I actively engage in community health education through free clinics and seminars on topics like diabetes, heart disease, and stress management.My practice offers services including annual physical exams, chronic disease management, weight loss programs, and minor procedures, supported by a secure patient portal for convenient health management. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my academic background at USC Keck School of Medicine, teaching experience, and decades of clinical practice serving patients in Pasadena and surrounding communities.

Dr. Swe consistently provides me with excellent health care. There is no other doctor that I've been to that is as caring, knowledgeable and genuine as Dr. Swe. She takes the time to answer my medical related questions and to educate and explain medical info to me. She is quick to follow up with test results and pharmacy requests. She and her staff provide top notch, quality and personalized care. I highly recommend Dr. Swe and her team.

I have been a patient of Dr Swe's for 20 years. She has taken such good care of me through the bumpy road of life and any medical issues that have come my way. I've always felt very well cared for. She is patient, kind, a good listener, and wise. I am so very lucky Dr Swe is my doctor. I feel truly blessed.

My mom has been a patient of hers for a long time and was recently telling me about her experience that made me furious. No problems with the doctor but the front office person is SO RUDE. If I had known what happened earlier, I would have intervened because it is not okay. She didn't tell the doctor because she didn't want to get her staff in trouble but I don't have the same concern. Here are a couple examples of what my mother (in her 70s) experienced:
- Asking about something and getting hung up on. She gave them the benefit of the doubt that maybe they were in the middle of

This doctor's office is a nightmare. The staff are beyond rude and don't care if you need help. The doctor left on vacation before giving me blood test results, with no on call person or any way for me to access my own medical information for over a month. Avoid at all costs.
