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.

After months of ignoring the pain in my foot, I went to ROC Express and was seen by their incredible staff. They got me seen quickly, professionally and scheduled for follow-up testing and appointments. Dr. Swanson explained everything very clearly and with kindness. Our experiences with ROC have always been 5 star. Everyone there, from the parking lot attendants to the doctors are amazing. Everyone is very kind and helpful.

We drove 3 hours to bring our 11-year-old daughter to Reno Orthopedic Center Express after she hurt her heel playing basketball, and it was absolutely worth every mile. Friends had raved about this place, and now I completely understand why. From the moment we arrived, everything moved efficiently — we were seen quickly, x-rays were taken without any long wait, and the whole experience felt remarkably smooth for a medical visit. Dr. Swanson was the highlight of our trip. He was warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive — taking the time to thoroughly explain my daughter’s condition and giving us a clear path forward. As parents, that peace of mind is everything, especially when quality orthopedic care isn’t readily available where we live. This is the kind of doctor and facility you don’t take for granted. If you’re on the fence about making a long drive for care you can actually trust, do it. We will absolutely be back if we ever need orthopedic care again. Thank you, Dr. Swanson and the entire ROC Express team!

I broke my foot and saw Dr. Swanson and his physician assistant, Rose Meade. I’ve never met or been cared by such present, attentive and kind Physicians. They and everyone I encountered are a class act. Each visit they took care of me and my foot in the best way possible. I feel grateful that roc serves my community.
