In the March 2022 edition of SRQ Magazine, we interviewed Dr. Logan Swaim and Dr. Laura Swaim, co-founders of the Roots Health Centers as part of our In Conversation feature about Lakewood Ranch. Below is an excerpt published in the magazine in which the doctors share insights with SRQ readers on living and working in Lakewood Ranch.

Tell us about the changes you've seen since you opened in the community. What sort of evolution have you seen in Lakewood Ranch since the pandemic?

Dr. Logan: It's been really great as more and more people are fleeing New York and New Jersey to come here. The need for services and maybe what they were used to up north, really allowed us to open the doors. Those people that are retiring and moving into Lakewood Ranch didn't want to travel outside of Lakewood Ranch. They didn't want to go down to Sarasota. They didn't want to go to Bradenton. They wanted something in their backyard. And it's great for us to be able to offer so many different services to meet their needs.

Dr. Laura: There's a couple of things that have happened. Obviously with the pandemic and having a lot of individuals working from home, we saw people with gut health issues because their dietary habits changed and they're not eating what they used to. And then we also saw a lot of foot pain, believe it or not. We've been helping many people with plantar fasciitis. And then with the new year, weight loss, we've been helping people with their goals for that. Our office has grown over the years, but we're still that mom and pop shop where people like to come and have those services provided. So I think the biggest thing that sets us apart is our gentle approach to how we care for our patients.
