Best doctor for shoulder surgery, foot and knee injuries. He takes great care to make sure you are truly pain free and back moving again.

I feel Dr. Swenson should have 5 stars instead of 4. Dr. Swenson has always spent time with me, I NEVER feel rushed, explains everything and is an excellent surgeon. I have had Dr. Swenson bring me through 2 shoulder surgeries already and we are going through a total hip replacement soon. I have always felt at ease with Dr Swenson, he has a great sense of humor and is always pleasant. Dr Swenson is a truly marvelous Doctor and a very talented surgeon. I have never had an infection or complication post op, and healing is rapid. I have been a RN for 36 years and have met several doctors. Dr. Swenson is one of the best I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and I will not have any other Doctor touch these bones of mine which seem to become troublesome at times.You Rock, Dr. Swenson, Thank you for always taking wonderful care of me.

I have watched him perform many surgeries and he pays attention to detail like no other and he is one of the most easy-going, nicest doctors I have met. Would definitely recommend.
