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 Board-Certified 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. He also served as a team physician with The Ohio State Buckeyes Football and Hockey teams.

Dr. Swinheart is an exceptional surgeon. He performed a reverse shoulder replacement on my wife last year, and will be doing her other shoulder soon. Her outcome on the first shoulder was great. I just went to see him for a shoulder problem and if surgery is needed I will use his services. during an office visit you never feel rushed. He takes adequate time and explains the diagnosis and any recommended procedures thoroughly. I can highly recommend him

Had a follow up with Dr. Swinehart for my shoulder. He did some tests, used an ultrasound and gave me a shot for my pain in my shoulder. Also recommended some PT which I’ll do right there in their office at Southlands Mall. If you like talking about college/pro sports Dr. Swinehart is your man as he played baseball in college. He’s amazing and their entire staff is great!
