Dr. Sweis stands out not only for his clinical expertise but for his rare ability to truly listen. He took the time to understand my symptoms, asked thoughtful questions, and never rushed the consultation. What impressed me most was his openness to collaborative reasoning — he welcomed my input, acknowledged prior investigations, and explained his thought process clearly. Dr. Sweis is not only a great doctor but also a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. Highly recommended.

I have been a regular client of OneWelbeck for various issues an Dr. Sweis was recommended on the back on generic approach for a GI specialist on a self-funded basis. He subsequently undertook a precautionary gastroscopy and colonoscopy at my request reflecting ongoing concern on my side around gastric reflux and potential risk of Barrett's/oesophogeal cancer. I had a one to one consultation either side of the procedure. I found Dr Sweis to be an excellent GI specialist who was able to answer all my questions on the basis of evidence and insight. The procedure was conducted very smoothly and with good live explanation. I would say that Dr. Sweis is high on expertise rather than 'bedside manner' and can be quite direct. But this was fine with me in this circumstance. One minor negative was that Dr Sweis was running over and was 30-45 minutes late for the follow up consultation. Had this been NHS I would have been delighted. But was I was paying I was mildly disappointed.

Dr Sweis diagnosed me quickly, after years of no one being able to help me. I have been getting food stuck in my throat for many years, causing me to choke. Dr Sweis identified and fixed the issue, and the result is life changing.
