Dane Swinehart

Growing up an athlete, Dr. Swinehart knows firsthand the pain and frustration that comes with injury. As a college pitcher, he had to undergo surgery to reconstruct a torn ligament in his elbow. This experience of getting back to play after injury, with the help of his team orthopedic surgeon, inspired Dr. Swinehart to pursue a career in Orthopedics.

As a Sports Medicine specialist, Dr. Swinehart’s practice focuses on getting his patients back to the activities they are passionate about as quickly as possible. Whether this be a new injury or an issue that has been lingering for years, Dr. Swinehart’s goal is to bring you the most up-to-date information on your condition and the most advanced surgical techniques to treat it.

Dr. Swinehart grew up in rural Ohio before attending Belmont University in Nashville, TN, where he was a member of the baseball team. He received his Medical Degree from the University of South Carolina in Greenville, SC, where he had the privilege of performing research focused on shoulder arthroplasty under Dr. Richard Hawkins at the Steadman Hawkins Clinic of the Carolinas.

After medical school, Dr. Swinehart returned to Nashville and completed his Orthopedic Surgery Residency at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. There, he had the opportunity to take care of athletes of all levels, including Vanderbilt University (NCAA Division I) and the Nashville Predators (NHL).

After residency, Dr. Swinehart completed an extra year of sub-specialization in Sports Medicine and Shoulder Surgery at The Ohio State University. There, he focused on advanced arthroscopic procedures of the knee and shoulder, cartilage restoration of the knee, complex knee and shoulder reconstruction, and primary and revision shoulder replacement.

Dr. Swinehart recently performed a complete knee replacement on me. His efficiency and skill resulted in out-patient surgery. I was home by 7 pm same day.His pre-op and post-op instruction were clear and concise. He expressed genuine care for the successful outcome of the surgery.Recovery has been as he described.

This was my first visit to the clinic for chronic knee pain. Dr Swinehart was very cordial, took time to explain what he saw on the X-rays, answered all my questions and provided a comprehensive treatment plan. Everything was done in a single visit and my knee pain has been resolved. Highly recommended.

Dr. Swinehart performed a major knee surgery on me. After getting multiple opinions and doing research I went ahead with the MACI procedure, a procedure that other specialists I saw weren’t knowledgeable about. He also moved my kneecap closer to the midline of my right leg. He did a great job, was responsive to my needs after the surgery, and made sure to check up on me. While this injury was not ideal, I am extremely fortunate to have dealt with Dr. Swinehart. 10/10 would get my other knee operated on by him if I had to do so.

Dr. Swinehart always listens to my symptoms, explores all options with me before we decide on a path forward. I appreciate his time in making me feel comfortable with the decision and his conservative approach has been the key to my continued mobility. The office staff and his assistant are also wonderful people.

I visited Dr Swinehart because of pain and decreased mobility in my left shoulder. The X-ray technician was great and Dr Swinehart explained the results of the x-ray to me so I could understand it. He gave me a few options based on my pain level. I felt like he genuinely cared for me as a patient and his options were open for me to let him know how I was feeling. I would highly recommend him to others seeking any joint condition or replacement options. He also came highly recommended by other physicians. You will be in good hands with Dr Swinehart.

I appreciated the quick access to care and responsiveness from the team when it came to getting PT started. Dr. Swinehart was thorough in his evaluation and very professional yet kind and personable. I’ve been practicing in healthcare for 20 years and would highly recommend this practice by what I’ve experienced so far.
