“My go-to for all things skin!”
I first came to see Dr. Swengel for acne treatments in my early 30s. I now do a variety of preventive treatments with Dr. Swengel and i've never felt more confident and informed about my skin and skin health in general. When you come in the office it feels like a spa -- everyone is friendly and you really feel as if they have your best interest in mind. Dr. Swengel has done a great job of building a strong and supportive team! I'm a patient for life! Thank you!!

“Trusted Like Family”
Dr. Swengel and his team are remarkable. I've been coming to the office for a little over three or so years and have never had a bad experience. And by the way, I look fabulous.

“Love Refined!”
Always such a great experience here. The staff is so sweet and Dr Swengel always makes you feel like you're his only patient. I have bought packages and have come regularly for my little gummy smile botox - the cheapest and most valuable part of my skin routine. 2 pinches and my gums aren't visible when I smile for 6+ months!! It makes me feel so much more confident and is beyond quick and easy. Thank you Refined and Dr Swengel!! <3

“Great bedside manner!”
I have been coming for many years and keep coming back because Dr. Swengel and staff are caring and take the time I need to feel comfortable. They listen to my concerns and share their ideas with me and whether I do them or not I always become informed on treatments that would be of interest to me.
Thanks for a simple and pleasurable experience!

“EXCELLENT”
I have been a patient of Dr. Swengel since he was treating at Santa Teresa Kaiser, I may have been 8yrs old -about 40yrs ago. He was the ONLY Dr of the many I had seen that was able to get my Chronic Psoriasis under control. Once he left Kaiser I was bounced around to multiple Dr's with severe flair ups that I could barely walk or move limbs-so painful. My husband decided to get private Ins and we made the BEST decision. I have been on Stellara with GREAT results, my skin is clear I can wear short sleeves, dresses love myself with not having the embarrassment of plaques all over while in excruciating pain. If you have the chance to get a consult with Dr. Swengel, please do he is AMAZING and I promise you will not be disappointed.
