I saw Dr. Svetich about a month ago. He had a great first impression. He made me feel 100% comfortable. I was extremely impressed with his knowledge. I was referred to him by my new dr & I was told he is one of the best in his field and he was confident if anyone could help me it would be him. My test procedure is tomorrow, he won my trust on day 1. Thank you Dr. Svetich, I wish you had been recommended to me long ago.

Dr. Svetich is the best in his field. I am the wife of one of his patients but I know that I completely trust him to care for my husbands condition. He's interesting and as people have noted, he is very blunt and gets straight to the point. My husband has had a resection performed by Svetich. Again, I have to say that I just knew that under his care that my husband would be 100% fine. This guy is absolutely the best surgeon that you can find.

I liked him. He is blunt and outspoken. Doesn't candy coat. I like his honesty. If your faint at heart he isn't for you. He is on top of his skill. Trust him.

While he's an excellent surgeon & I'd go to him again in a heartbeat.... he lacking in the bedside manner department?!? The first time I met him was pretty-op & he didn't introduce himself & just said he was the surgeon and examined my abdomen & asked me if I smoked( well, yes but I was trying to quit- I was down to like 5 a day & used the e-cigarette! He said out loud REALLY LOUD! Well, YOUR GONNA DIE, u have dx ..... & with smoking too. U are going going to die;-(... after that he was ok???
