About David Swanson, MD

Dr. David Swanson completed his medical degree at the University of Texas Medical Branch, followed by his orthopedic surgical residency at the University of Arizona in Phoenix. He then completed his orthopedic trauma fellowship at Reno Orthopedic Clinic in 2017. He worked with Sonoran Orthopedic Trauma Surgeons in Scottsdale, AZ for two years before returning to work with Reno Orthopedic Center in 2019.

He is board certified by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery and his practice is centered on orthopedic trauma and fracture care of both adult and pediatric patients. His focus includes pelvic and acetabular surgery, nonunion and malunion surgeries, and bone and joint infections. He enjoys teaching and working with residents and trauma fellows.

I had a great experience at ROC. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Dr Swanson really knew his stuff and was quick to assess my situation. He explained everything very well and was kind. He did an amazing job on my surgery and I’m healing well. I’m super impressed with roc and highly recommend.

THIS is the guy you want to see. Smart, reasonable, attentive, caring and extremely knowledgeable, and he also has really good judgment. He found a secondary trauma in my ankle that no one else noticed, and sent me to a third specialist, to make sure that when I return to trail running, I'm not going to exacerbate anything and lead to a chronic injury. He is also a really nice guy.

We would highly recommend Dr. Swanson; our son broke his arm, and we received wonderful care through him. He was very kind and gentle. He made our son feel very comfortable. He was very knowledgeable and open to any questions we had. The surgeries went smoothly, and our son healed great. Thorough follow ups. Very professional, great quality and very friendly. Thank you, Dr. Swanson!!!
