Matthew R Swelstad

He does not explain things well and if there are any complications (a seroma) he will try to tell you it is a pocket of fat, even if you can clearly push the fluid around. This “pocket of fat” only appeared after my JP was pulled. Now I need a second surgery after paying 10,500 for the first one. He talks down to you and is also rude to his own staff and treats them very poorly.

Double chin liposuction and tummy tuck. Dr. Swelstad is a genius! My belly button is even cute! Not the weird slit. It’s been over a year and I literally could not be happier!! Definitely recommend

Dr. Swelstad was amazing with my two year old. Very caring and professional.

I worked with Dr. Swelstad to repair multiple hernias I had developed from being pregnant 4x, abdominal separation and excessive skin/stretch marks. He was absolutely amazing!! While the recover was not easy, the after results are so worth it! I now have strong abs, no hernias, and no excess skin/minimal stretch marks. I am a new woman!! Dr. Swelstad was very professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel at ease during the entire process. I highly recommend him for any of your needs!!

From my first consultation to my surgery the staff and Dr. Swelstad made me fill so at ease. My breast surgery results are amazing. The surgery and my recovery could not have went better. The level of knowledge, concern, professionalism and surgical skill exemplified by Dr. Swelstad and his team was astounding, I am so happy with my results. Truly the Best of the Best. My husband also had a facelifts by Dr. swelstad and the results are amazing and natural. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Bad bedside manner, you can’t say that you don’t like the way anything turned out because he right away says it’s your fault. I paid over 15k for nothing my implants are saggy and my tummy tuck he did makes me look 3-4 months pregnant in any legging I wear. Definitely would never return. Please investigate and consult more than one doctor before getting any kind of plastic surgery

Excellent! Love working with Swelstad. He has been really helpful with any information and with all treatments/procedures I have done with him.

Dr. Swelstad is very nice and professional.

I appreciate how professional and down to Earth Dr. Swelstad is. Thanks for helping me be a better version of myself!

I came to Dr. Swelstad after my bilateral mastectomy. I have seen his partner in the past for some sinus issues. I immediately felt comfortable knowing he was in the same office. Dr. Swelstad and his PA, Tammy, were absolutely great! He did a great job making sure all my questions were answered, and all my concerns we addressed. Prior to surgery, Dr. Swelstad thoroughly explained what I can expect during and after surgery which elevated all my fears, and eased my nerves. He is just overall fantastic! I have already and will continue to send people his way!

I love Dr Swelstad and his staff! He worked wonders on my train wreck of a chest! I was a little hesitant at first because he suggested doing a lift and three months later implants, the man KNOWS what he is doing and I am so pleased!

I am one year post-op and so happy with my results. Dr. Swelstad and staff are wonderful and I would definitely recommended to family and friends!!

I can not put into words how much I love Dr. Swelstad! I went to him in a tragic state after a double mastectomy and asked that he work wonders in order to repair my chest. He went above and beyond.

Dr Swelstad is an amazing surgeon. I have been to other plastic surgeons and general surgeons in the past 28 years, and none compare to him. I have had 3 surgeries (2 in the last few months), performed by Dr. Swelstad and each surgery has come out better than I ever imagined. What I like about him... is kindness, compassionate heart, and he really listens. He doesn't downgrade you in any way or make you feel bad about the physical problems you face. Great bedside manner and I know he pays attention to details, like scarring etc... His work has made a huge difference in my life and I will be eternally thankful. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a top notch surgeon. Thank you, Dr. Swelstad. Dr Swelstad is an amazing surgeon.

I took my 6 year daughter to Dr. Swelstad for plastic surgery to close up a bike accident injury on her chin and it was a horrible first experience for her and me. Dr. Swelstad advertises that he is specializes in pediatric plastics. However there was nothing 'kid-friendly' about him. From the minute he walked into the exam room to the follow-up after surgery his patient relations and/or bedside manner was awful. On numerous occasions he was condescending, rude, offensive and arrogant to me, in addition to making no effort to relate or build a patient relationship with my daughter to make her feel comfortable in a strange and traumatizing situation. In fact, on several occasions he scared her more with his words. The staff and anesthesiologist were great however and made efforts to relate to a child and make her feel comfortable in a foreign and scary situation. I am grateful that he was available to perform the surgery, it was 8 days ago, so I can not comment on his surgical skills, but she seems to be healing well. I will not return to him for the follow up appointment or ever again.

I had a very good experience with Dr. Swelstad and the staff at Regenesis. They were all very caring and helpful .

Top notch service. I was treated with kindness and respect and the follow up has been wonderful! I will definitely visit again and again!

Great office, great surgeon! Really in depth and thorough. Very understanding. It's been 2 years and I still love what he has done. Never be afraid to ask questions!!!

My concern was very minor in the grand scheme of things. A torn ear lobe. But Dr. Swelstad took the time to make me feel like my concern was important to him and his staff. Thanks for taking the time to sew my ear. It looks perfect now.

My first visit was at a Regenisis luncheon, as the guest of my friend, Dianne. She looked so amazing, as the result of the J-Plasma procedure, which was performed by Dr. Hartshorne, that I knew I had to check it out. I was anxious to attend the luncheon to see what new procedures were available. Dr. Swelstad and Dr. Hartshorn spoke to a dozen women about the many different options that were available to enhance the face through fillers, Botox and skin resurfacing. Dr Swelstad then invited our group to view an actual procedure. There he injected fillers in and around the mouth of a patient, and oh my gosh, it gave immediate results! It is amazing how just a little filler can lift the mouth and enhance the overall look of the lower part of the face. That's exactly what I needed and I immediately set up a consultation with Dr. Swelstad. I have had Botox injections for many years and that was the first thing that he did. Yay, the mad face and frown lines are gone! On my second visit I was able to try out the fillers. Dr. Swelstad injected a bit around my mouth and some in between my chin and jowls and I must say, it made a subtle difference and I am very happy with the results. I would recommend Regenisis to anyone who needs a bit of a youth boost. ???? Seriously, Regenisis offers many different procedures and all of the doctors are Board Certified Plastic Surgeons. The entire staff is well informed and very professional. It has been a wonderful experience. My first visit was at a Regenisis luncheon, as the guest of my friend, Dianne.

One of the best doctors i have ever seen with kids. When people think of plastic surgery or skin care a lot of the time they forget there are kiddos that require those services. I'm very grateful for what dr. Swelstad has done for my daughter and will continue to do as she grows and we face another procedure.

Dr. Swelstad has been apart of our family for a while now. From taking care of my parents skin cancer to now helping my daughter through a tough scar in the center of her forehead. We went there for a conceltation and he made her feel so welcome and comfortable. When she is ready for surgery we Will be going there to take care of our problems. Thank you all so much.

Dr. swelstad did an amazing job on my tummy tuck. My scar is hardly even noticeable and I look amazing. When his office was busy and I had to wait longer than expected he paid for me to have an hour-long facial there also which was fantastic!

Dr. Swelstad did such an INCREDIBLE job with my surgery. He exceeded my hopes and expectations which were high!! I highly recommend him. His office staff is AMAZING also and always made me feel welcome and his assistants are very professional. Thanks for being a perfectionist and nailing my vision 100% ????

Dr. Swelstad helped me with a work comp injury to my wrist. He did an excellent job and I have been very pleased with his work. He took the extra time to repair the artery so that I wouldn't have numbness in my thumb. Three years later no numbness and I have 100% use of my wrist.

Dr. Swelstad was the surgeon that performed my reduction in 2015! He did an amazing job of giving me exactly what I needed. He listened carefully and with much discretion about my needs. Two and a half years later I have minimal scaring (with this surgery you go in knowing there will be some scaring) and my back feels 100 times better.

I wanted some procedures done, I interviewed a few Drs., when I met Dr Swelstad and his staff there was no question he was the Best Dr. He did great work, life changing for me, and a great bed side manner, I recommend him to many friends who feel the same as I do. I trusted him enough to take my daughter to him, she was nauseous after her surgery I called the Nurse's number to get advise, around midnight and Dr Swelstad answered, and told us what to do to calm her stomach, I couldn't ask for more!

Dr. Swelstad is very kind and listens well. I took my son to him to fix a scar he had from an accident by his eye. He took the time to answer all of my questions, examine my sons face, and also determined which way he would do the stitches to best suit his face. Now, after it's been healing the scar isn't as noticeable. We are very satisfied with how Dr. Swelstad treated my son and I, and will definitely come to him in the future for any other surgery.

Dr. Swelstad was able to get me in for surgery within a week of having a breast implant rupture to have them replaced. I was incredibly nervous as my previous experience years ago with the surgery was painful and had no follow-up care. Dr. Swelstad spent time with me to be sure I was making the right decision and calmed my nerves. The results are great, I am very pleased and would recommend him to anyone having any type of plastic surgery. He is great!

I am very pleased with the process from beginning to end. Everyone was willing to listen and explain the process . There were no surprises at all. MY results were exactly what was expected. Dr. Swelstad did a wonderful job. I look natural.

I've never had any sort of surgery before, so I was really nerve racked, but Dr. Swelstad took good care of me. Not that surgery is a fun experience, but he had it as enjoyable as possible and helped calm down my nerves and anxieties. I'm very happy with the outcome and results I have had and have to come.

My experience with Dr. Swelstad was exceptional. Upon initial consultation I had many questions in regards to size, and symetry. Dr. Swelstad answered all my questions, gave clear explanations and took the time I needed to feel comfortable with decision on size and procedure. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. Prior to the procedure Dr. Swelstad met with me again to make sure the size selected was what I wanted, and explained how the procedure would go. Outcome was excellent!

I am so pleased with the results of my breast reduction! My back pain is almost completely gone now. I'm able to excecise comfortably, they're symetrical and look great. I'm so grateful to Dr. Swelstad, his PA, and all the nurses and aides that cared for me. I couldn't have asked for better results!

Easy, breezy, would do it again in a heartbeat.

I was referred to Swelstad by an Orthopedic surgeon for cranial painful cranial deformities. I am on Medicaid and of course cannot compete with cash paying cosmetic surgery patients. I was made to jump through so many hoops before the doc would see me I.e. See other dr.s get more tests and on and on. Only to be told Swelstad said he was not the right dr for me after all and he didn't want me to waste a trip to GJ. So he gives me the # of the exact same kind of dr DENVER. Also they are rude.

Never dreamed of having this done, breast reduction. But, at 64 yrs. young, I felt it time to at least find out more about it. Seeing Dr. Swelstad and having him explain what he could do in ways I could totally understand and feel so comfortable with, it was a go. I'm EXTREMELY glad I chose to have this done, after 6 mos. since the surgery I am even more thrilled with the results. His staff is sweet and caring, as is he from the start. I highly recommend Dr. Swelstad!

I am currently at 6 months post-op and have to admit that I am feeling pretty confident in my results already. Dr. Swelstad was thorough with his suggestions and honest about his opinions concerning projected results. He has great bedside manner and seems to care about his patients concerns. His staff is friendly, attentive, and helpful. I will always recommend him to anyone who has need of his services. I truly felt like I was in good hands and so will you be. Thank you Dr. Swelstad.

My case was complicated and uncomfortable. Dr. Swelstad listened, cared, and fixed my injury. I had been living and compensating for an unfortunate childhood accident for years. Now I have the freedom to live my life without my previous restrictions and insecurities. I could not have asked for better results; in fact, I was shocked at how perfectly I healed after my surgery. Thank you, Dr. Swelstad, for giving me a new start and the confidence to pursue my dreams.

Very good experience. Dr. Swelstad listened to all my concerns and I am very pleased with my surgery results.

The staff was easy to work with and was very pleasant. I am pleased with the results.

Very professional and friendly.

Could have not been happier with the outcome, and how I was treated.

I would recommend Dr. Swelstad any day. Very professional and his office staff was great. If I had it to do over again, I would for sure come back to Regenesis and Dr. Swelstad again and again.

Dr. Swelstad made me feel very comfortable about my surgery and the results were better than I could have ever expected. I can't speak highly enough about my experience overall. Thank you!

Pleasant

Every time I come into this office I am treated with respect, the lady at the front always remembers everyones names and is very polite. When you go in to see the doctor he always checks on how everything is and has been for your last visit. When i cut a tendon in my finger and went to the emergency room the er said it was fine and I didnt hurt anything, going to a check up with doctor Swelstad he just looked at my finger and knew the tendon was severed. I always have great service. Thank you.

post cancer unilateral breast reconstruction was pleasantly completed by Dr Swelstad. Reconstruction was done with fat grafting. After the mastectomy and radiation I experienced lymphidemia, pain, and scarring. after two sessions of fat grafting all these symptoms are greatly reduced or completely eliminated. The final result is a very natural match to the unaffected breast and healing went very quicky

On first meeting doctor Swelstad I was set at ease He informed me of the worst possibilities and to my surprise I still had three fingers and a thumb, L am very grateful to him and his assistant and will gladly recommend him to others.

My whole experience was great. I received the best possible care. And my life has now changed for the better since having Breast Reduction Surgery. This has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Wonderful staff from beginning to end. Dr. Swelstad has a wonderful bedside manner and was more than will to take the time to answer all of my questions. He didn't promise anything that he couldn't do and my outcome was better than I expected. Great experience!

Dr.Swelstad was very professional and helpful with all of my needs.

First and foremost I need to thank Dr. Swelstad and his team for helping me to achieve what I needed and longed for in order to feel more comfortable with my body. I had been uncomfortable with my body (breasts) for as long as I can remember. I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Swelstad for breast augmentation and he completely eased my nerves and made me feel very comfortable with going through with the surgery. I am one hundred percent happy with my results and loving the new me!

Dr. Swelstad was great to work with. Good at listening and great results.

I found Dr. Swelstad and his staff to be outstanding. And the results of my surgery were better than I had expected.

I very much appreciate what the doctor did for me in making my accident whole again. His expertise was my blessing. Without Doctor Swelstad taking care of my injuries,I fear that my hand would have been useless.

My experience with Dr. Swelstad was outstanding. He never pressured me to have the reduction... he just gave me the pros and cons of the surgery. I'm glad I had the surgery... wish I had done the surgery earlier. It stopped pain and discomfort in head and shoulders.

The best! Already coming back!

I was an emergency room referral, and was very pleased with Dr. Swelstads care. Due to his expertise, I still have a workable finger tip and in my line of work, fingers are very important. Thank You

good very good

Dr. Swelstad was the kindest doctor who took all of my concerns and desires into consideration. I felt comfortable with his office staff and nursers, all very professional and helpful. My body confidence has sky rocketed since I had surgery! No more frumpy mom bod here!

Doctor Swelstad, was willing to listen and explained in an easy to understand way. I was right to trust this doctor for my procedure.

Wonderful office and staff

He was great.

I waited YEARS to have the surgery that I did and I would never go to a different plastic surgeon!

Dr. Swelstad always listens to me. He has always been very patient with my four year old who is anxious and precooperative. He goes out of his way to make her feel safe and comfortable every single visit over the years. He is also very patient with me as a worried mother. He is an excellent doctor. I am grateful to have my daughter's care in his hands. I trust him fully.

I have been hoping to have a reduction for a long time and have been praying to have a surgeon that cares about his patients and tries to get the best possible result that the he and the patient want and that is exactly what i received with Dr. Swelstad! He truly is the best out there! I finally have the breast I've never had and am able to do all the activities I've dreamed up with no complications! I can't thank him enough!

Great experience.

110% pleased

So I wasted a half hour of my life today, going to a plastic surgeon. I should have gone to orthopedic doctor who specialized in hands, but I got some arrogant man (who couldn't handle that someone like me could articulate myself using proper English) My son is autistic, has ADHD and is a savant. He is fascinated with phones, touchscreen devices and locks. I asked this doctor when he came in, to please put his phone in a safe place (trying to explain my son, because these people out here are so willing to stare and judge, but they can never understand). The few minutes he spent with me, he could have put his phone up, but how dare I, a woman and an "other" question him? See the pics for what happened to my finger. I guess this man also thinks people like me have some sort of preternatural ability to endure pain, because he had his nurse slap some band-aids on it with some neosporin. He felt Tylenol would help with this pain, then tried to tell me about heroin addicts, like I care about Becky with the Bad Addiction. I grew up in a family of crackheads, and I have NEVER tried an illicit drug. I moved to Colorado because after a stroke at the age of 25, after living all my life with conditions that were beaten into me, I get tired of dealing with doctors who want to label me off the bat. I am not, and never will be a drug seeker. I'm only in their damned database out here three times (for an opiate script, which I insisted he give me, plus what they gave me in the ER). That's probably all that will ever be. I'll never willingly see a doctor again, other than the yearly physical and well-woman check up. I'm sick and tired of being labeled. I get up every day in pain, and I deal with it. I don't even like these pills, but since I'm on my own and I have to dress, bathe, practically manually feed and corral a busy child....since I've been hitting this finger 20 times a day trying to continue my independent life, you goddamned right I'm going to ask for pain pills. It seems that no matter what I do, weight loss, organic diet, lists of all the supplements I've tried...nothing will convince these arrogant people that my pain is real. But you'll give these rich people percs for pain after boob jobs (and I'm not even talking about reconstructive surgery after cancer, either) and their little turkey gullet tucks. I lost my damned finger and you tell me Tylenol...sure. No, you don't have to read my mind, but if you listened, instead of trying to talk over me (I love patriarchy)... Like I said, I moved to Colorado so I never have to endure another panic attack, sleepless night, loss of apetite, this crushing depression, all-over joint pain, or any of that, cold turkey. You can call it psychosomatic if you want (I know exactly what you pissants say and what it means), but I do know that if you live your life with cortisol constantly running through your system, it's been medically proven that this can create many imbalances, among them autoimmune ones. I'm not letting doctors minimize my pain anymore. And I'm not letting this one bill my insurance for absolutely nothing again. You want a boob job? Go to him. You have a legit injury, good luck finding a doctor that will listen, because apparently they're all too busy saving their asses from people whose behaviors are easily tracked, to listen to their patients. I am NOT a goddamned drug seeker. How dare you infer anything of the sort. I hope these people realize I will sue them into nonexistence if they even try to infer such a thing any further than they already have. They'd have to prove that I wasn't treating an injury. The damned ER had to numb my hand just to wrap it up, they took my pain seriously, but somehow you can't. Trust me, people of my "ilk" can indeed feel pain, no matter how much your worldview and the behaviors that come from it, have pressed it upon us. How dare you? So I wasted a half hour of my life today, going to a plastic surgeon. I should have gone to orthopedic doctor who specialized in hands, but I got some arrogant man (who couldn't handle that someone like me could articulate myself using … More
