I used to frequent here until I started finding a lot of premature seeds in the strains. It's disgusting and unpleasant to smoke. The shatter has improved slightly only because I heard Canamo is blasting it but it still doesn't compare to what's around the valley for far less money, it still has the same strange aftertaste like it's full of chemicals. The employees hardly know their products anymore but they still act like they know it all, it makes it hard to find what will help my pain best. I won't be stopping by these locations anymore.

Budtenders are cashiers without product knowledge. They guess what concentrates are cut with. Recalled product like OG Clear pens from Fiday have no reason for the recall or a subsititution. only response was I Don't Know. They need budtenders not cashiers. not ever customer is going to know the safe and algeric queations. Swells Did not Have this Knowledge and needs to correct. Consumers are trusting you to hire Budtenders that want to be knowledgeable

Walked in for the first time expecting something great. Walked out with nothing. Not even their free preroll. Honestly don't know how they have two locations. Weak sauce.

Hopefully we can get the swing of this whole recreational thing soon us medical patients are feeling the brunt of it.

do not spend your money here! they're making the medical and people who order online stand outside and they get waited on last and the people that are walking in get served first and it's not right for the ones who have a medical card and who have ordered online I will not come to this location because the employees at curleaf on Bell were not respectful to the customers who have their medical card and online orders.

I have been a member of the Cannabis world since 1980 and have been to most of the dispensaries throughout the Phoenix area over the past years. Generally speaking all of them have a friendly and respectful staff. That being said; after going to Swell at 32nd and McDowell and now the newest Swell at Bell and 19th ave, I have stopped going to any others.
The staff at Swell truly feels like family. From my first visit I was treated like I had been going there for years. The newest location on 19th and Bell has become my primary dispensary.
As someone that is 50, I wasn’t up to speed with all of the newest methods and products. The people here walked me through it as if I was their Dad and they explained the whole process. No rush or worry about how long it took this old man to catch on.
One last great comment is on the Veteran discount. Its common in this industry to get 10% off for being a Vet, this place gives a 20% discount to all of us Veterans! That is unbelievable and more appreciated than I believe they realize. Since they do not have “Tip Jars” out for the staff but are allowed tips, I personally just flip all of my discount savings to the tender as a tip.
I strongly recommend any Swell location to anyone but especially Veterans. I failed to mention that they also have a lot of prior military personnel working for them as well.
Thank You Swell for being there and for expanding to more locations.
A good dispensary but lately the wait is ridiculous you need to serve your medical patients better have decated cashiers medical is what made u guys money remember 😉

I love the enthusiasm from the budtenders. Every question I have had, has been answered in detail. The flower and shatter are exceptional at Swell. See you soon. 😊

I never review dispensaries despite the occasional perk for doing so...but honestly, I am so happy with Swell on Bell that I feel compelled now to leave a review to inform anyone who sees it to get their ass over there and appreciate the awesomeness of staff I have been lucky enough to bother. I don't know much about this marijuana industry stuff, and was doubtful after discussing with a more knowledgeable person regarding a purchase of flower which didn't agree with me that I had any recourse...alas, I called and not only wasn't hassled or told I am sol...but I was assured that on my next visit, a solution would be made. These frigging angels not only compensated me for the cruddy crud, I was also directed into a flower I really liked by the budtender (not sure if I should specify her name but I adore her and all the tenders I have been helped by there)! So, basically, I will be paying their salaries now since I am not going elsewhere. Multiple times I have been there, only one product has been "off," and they made up for it, and then some! 5 star is weak sauce...Swell gets 8 at least. ;)

Very simple, I haven’t been here since it was Swell. When curaleaf took over they re-texted all of swells patients even tho I had opted out from swell. They send me a text in October and even tho I’m sketched out I just unsubscribe. Again and again they have texted me even tho I keep unsubscribing. Weirdos, that’s private data and heavy fines. Cut it out!!!

My first visit I was impressed until I tried the product. Extremely dry. Afgooey is supposed to be gooey. Maybe just a bad selection on my part. I know people are sort of used to this "it's ok to charge $19/g for flower" but it really isn't. Hard to come back when I can find $6 $7.5 and $9 stuff at several other locations that taste smoke and medicate better. Will try again at some point and hopefully retract or review better.

I've been to four dispensaries since receiving my med card. I really appreciate the secure, welcoming, professional atmosphere. Very generous first time patient incentive. Brooke was very helpful by listening to me first. She then showed an awesome array of flower, edibles, and sublingual. I'll be returning soon. 😲😵😋😜😳

A friend & I came in as FTP together. We both had GOOD experiences. I lean towards indicas, friend likes sativas, we both enjoyed our selections of flower and our Sublime products that we each purchased. Thank you for another option of decent places to go. We'll be back.....

I think that everyone should just stick to Swell. Best smoke you can find. Only top shelf. Can't go wrong.
PS.. Ellen is freakin awesome and gorgeous.

20% off hiked up prices and our own med line. Haven't been back since they went rec. Alot of fake reviews.

So I've been going to swell for 2 years now and have never been so disappointed in the quality of medicine from them until Friday 9/15. I drove over 10 miles to this location to pick up some stuff that was on special for 20 dollars an eighth. After looking them over I decided to pick up the grape ape. Big mistake. I get it home and look at what I was given and I was very let down. It was nugs of leaves with a tiny piece of bud on each nug. I understand these are guest strains but this is the reason I stopped going 6 months ago. And it's funny how they keep opening shops knowing they don't have a quality grower or the same quality house strains they where known for. Stop trying to open as many stores as possible. Just shows that swell is money hungry pigs that have lost the passion for the industry. They have lost all their good budtenders because of these changes and it's just sad.

Had a nice selection, Love the vibe and short wait. Fair prices and good quality herb.

So I'm waiting for over 20 minutes outside as a medical patient .. totally unacceptable. We haven't moved in line in 10 minutes man. If I didn't absolutely need my meds, I'd be so gone. whoever is in charge...FIRE THEM !

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE!! Put in online pick up order. Received text that it was ready 20 min later. Drive to the location only to be told it would be an additional 20 min wait, for just a pick up order. I’m understanding and wait 30 min before asking how much longer.... I get told there are still 5 people ahead of me and it would be another 15 min along with a tirade of excuses!!!! Due to ridiculous wait times/bad customer service I’m never going Curaleaf again.

So stupid,even security guard made a comment (said it was indica without looking in the bag). Avoid this dispensary on 19th Avenue & Bell. Just another bad dealer.

The bud tenders here are awfully rude and they unhelpful. You would think they’d be nicer trying to sell that brown flower.

FTP visit was disappointing. The BT was not very helpful, half explained a product to me, told me they had rigs and I thought he would show one but he handed me my bag and was done. I got home and found no stickers on my purchase with my lic#, no receipt in the bag. Doubt I'll come back. Positives are tax is included, and the front desk is quick and easy check in.

Was excited to try out the beautiful/yummy smelling flower I got here, but when I opened the pouch, it was extremely dry. I can tell the quality is good, but the dryness makes it very harsh to smoke. It was the same for both strains I had purchased. Will give it another shot because the budtender was excellent and I appreciate the layout and environment/vibe of the space, but if I get such dry buds again, I won't return.
