I am devastated to hear this news. I am struggling to find the words... you were the greatest doctor we've ever met. You gave us hope when all was lost. We will always think of you.. and Jack (our son) will know who you were. We will carry on your memory as long as we live.
I am deeply saddened by the new of Sweeney’s passing. Though we were not brothers by blood, he is very much a part of our family. So many of my favorite memories are spending time with him. He gave me good (and bad) advice, tough love, and so much help whenever and whatever I needed it. He was good to me. No surprise that I wish we would have kept in touch over the years, but the goodness he left in my heart will never be forgotten. Our condolences to Bill’s family, friends, and all who loved him. You’re in our thoughts and prayers. God bless.
My heart swelled with sadness when I was told the news about Dr. Sweeney. I was in complete disbelief and have found it difficult to even find the words at this moment. We came to Dr. Sweeney 7 yrs ago when we were pregnant with our son, we were told by others that our son would not survive and/or have numerous complications but Dr. Sweeney held faith with our faith in our decisions. It was the most difficult, saddest, stressful time of my life at a time that should be joyful and yet Dr. Sweeney was there with his warmth and compassion, love and reassurance , he had a calm about him that made me feel calm. He was there in the delivery room when our Aiden was born, it was a special journey for our family. They met maybe once after, but we moved to Florida within the year. I was hoping they would meet again to see what an amazing young boy Aiden has become. Thank you Dr. Sweeney for your comfort during my difficult time, your patience when I cried during my appointments, your comfort at my uncertainty, and everything in between because in the end.... WE trusted together in faith and Aiden is amazing and I've always been forever grateful for having you as my Doctor!! God bless you and your family... rest in heavenly peace Dr. Sweeney, you will be missed.
I don't even know where to begin...All I can say is I would not be where I am today without your support, guidance and encouragement. You knew where I would be one day in medicine before I did and never let me off the hook to keep pushing myself further. Every milestone in my career you have been a part of and its hard to come up with words to express how grateful I am. You always believed in me. Working for you was an absolute blessing and privilege and having you as my mentor was even greater. You showed me what it meant to LOVE your work and pursue your passions. You showed me what it meant to have integrity as a physician and to always do right by your patients. You showed me what it meant to truly care for the people you see and consider them friends rather than patients. You are to me, the epitome of an amazing doctor. You will be missed so dearly by so many. My love and prayers go out to your entire family. A great teacher takes a hand, opens a mind and touches a heart. You will always have an incredibly special place in my heart. - Brittany
Like so many others, we met Bill as an incredible doctor who helped us through a difficult pregnancy that resulted in two beautiful children thanks to his loving and caring efforts. We were very lucky to also be able to call him friend. He was a joy to be around, had a great sense of humor and genuinely cared about those of us that had the privilege to know him. He touched so many lives and left a tremendous legacy in all those lives he ushered into this world. He treated us all like family and he will very sorely missed but very fondly remembered always. The Theodorakos Family.
Our deepest condolences to the Sweeney family, his patients , the Annapolis family, and his colleagues. Bill was an absolutely incredible human being, and spent his life doing and giving to others what was truly meaningful. We are heartbroken. Ed & Christine Nguyen
My heartfelt condolences to Bill’s family and partners. I referred many patients to him and consulted with him often. He consistently gave his honest opinion and went the extra mile for his patients. With him one knew right away that what you saw is what you got - gentle kindness, sincerity and honesty. I admired and respected him for that. His work has been a blessing to so many. He will be sorely missed.

My deepest sympathy & prayers to Dr. Sweeney's family, friends and colleagues. I was referred to him for a second opinion & through my next 4 pregnancies. He was such a kind man with a sweet smile & will be truly missed.
