Not sure what to say?

Charles Swanson was very caring toward me. I was a patient of his. I had no idea that he was suffering from cancer. he was always cheerful and had a good demeanour. I will miss him.

Dr. Swansen was a kind physician and a unique soul. I wish he was here today as my daughter needs a dermatologist and is having a problem finding a good one. May his memories and kindnesses bring peace to his family.

Dear Dr. Swanson, Thank you for your help over the years with my skin problems. You always gave me the right medicine, but mostly I was impressed with the fact that you dared to be a doctor in such a rigid profession that does not make it easy for those with the courage to live and practice with individuality. You did it and did it well in the face of many who may have been more provincial. I was not aware you were ill, however I know you left this world better than you found it. Thank you,...

I first noticed little things he did like go out and wheel in patients himself, give out free tubes of products and tell me interesting info. I actually doubted him when he said my father had Scabies as it seemed impossible when he told me. I realized later he was 100% right and wrote him an apology. The medication helped him so much. He was a doctor from the old school and knew his profession better than most. I'll truly miss him.

We are late to get the news of Dr. Swanson's passing and are sad to hear of it. My adult daughter Julie was his patient. She has high functioning autism and though I did not know that Dr. Swanson had Aspergers, I sensed they had a connection and unspoken understanding of each other. She has asked why she has not seen him lately. He was always so kind and patient with her. He is sadly missed . Mary Morris

Just a belated message of thanks for all the years of service. He helped a lot of people myself included along the way, very sad to hear.

I had the honor of being an employee for Dr . Swanson years past. I recently found out of his passing and I'm very saddened by this. Dr Swanson was an incredible selfless man who cared deeply for everyone in his life. I would watch him through the day and I was amazed at his talent his kindness warm heartedness and the selfless image he portrayed. I'm very honored to have known him and he was told that by me before I moved forward for personal reasons. It was tough then to say goodbye and...

Just heard the news. Our sincere condolences. My husband and I were his patients. It's the end of an era.

My husband and I were both patients of Dr. Swanson, and were very saddened to hear of his passing just a few days ago. He was a very kind, soft spoken man who made you feel very welcome and at ease in his office. Thank you for the great care, you will be missed. RIP Dr. Swanson.
