All done well.
The staff was extremely helpful. They were very efficient, made me feel comfortable. The doctor was excellent and explained things extremely well, as well as the intake people that took me in and set me up with, I think, a cardiogram. And I was very pleased with the experience and kept my apprehension level down, which has nothing to do with your staff. It's just that's how I was. So I'm definitely very pleased with the staff as well as the practice.
I interacted with 5 members of staff on this day.Each and every encounter was pleasant, informative, respectful and efficient!
All is good

Excellence for the last 30yrs of care with Dr Schwengel and his staff; even with the changes in medical care in our country.
Always courteous and friendly. I appreciate them. Thank you.
I liked Dr. Schwengle. I just felt a little awkward because I was sitting on a very low exam table and he was standing the whole time, I had to look up at him which made me feel "small".I had to call after my appointment to correct some medication information and the person on the phone was very helpful. I also used the portal to request my new prescription be sent to the Navy pharmacy and that was done very quickly.
Very efficient and friendly
Getting in closer to my appointment time
Made me feel welcome from check in to check out. Always.
Dr. Schwengel is great! I'm fortunate to be his patient! A big thumbs-up! [Name] [Name]
Very pleasant experience overall.
Timely, friendly, and well-informed. No issues with service or care
I had to wait awhile to get an appt. but once I got in I had a very positive experience with Dr. Schwengel. He spent an adequate amount of time with me going over my medical history and ask a lot of questions to make sure he knew and understood my issues. I couldn't remember one of the medications I was taking so he asked me to call and let the office know what it was when I got home. I was impressed with his attention to detail.
Friendly, knows my medical history very well, trustworthy
I was seen promptly and hardly had to wait two minutes before the Dr came in. Perfect

Dr. Schwingel does a great job listening to me. He asks the proper questions. He checks my heart each time and different breathing exercises, checks both front and back of my back and my chest. Very positive, goes over my medicines with me and just does a real solid job. Very happy with my cardiologist. Thanks.
Took me in on time and got right to work. Good job.
Staff very courteous and professional. Was taken in with very little wait time.
Because there's such a shortage of cardiologist on a Aquidneck island it was six weeks before I could get into see Dr. Schwengel not his fault though
He knows my history and understands my goals. He also explains the information in an understandabe manner.
