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. Swinehart did a left knee scope and after 6 weeks I feel about 80% recovered. I only have pain when I push exercise too far at home. PT and Dr Swinehart’s team have done an exceptional job at helping me recover. Thank you. I know I will be riding my motorcycle soon.:)

Dr. Swinehart did a great job on my reverse shoulder replacement. I am now just three months out and have much more mobility in that shoulder than I have had in years! ,He and his staff are very friendly and helpful, answer all my questions, and the therapy that I’ve been receiving from Jake in the PT section has been excellent.

I felt as if I was taken seriously. Although I probably didn’t describe my issues with the best words/examples, I was still able to receive proper service and received referrals for other issues. I wasn’t pushed to the side or ignored.

I’ve been to a couple of the OCC locations and they are all good, in my opinion. I did like where this one was located and my first impressions of Dr. Swinehart would very good. He took the time to listen to my concerns and he was great about explaining my diagnoses and showing me my MRI results, pointing out specific things to me. I would recommend Dr. Swinehart and his staff to anyone who needs to see a doctor that specializes in shoulders.

Dr. Swinehart is very kind, answers all my questions, and I usually have lots of them, and explains things in simple terms as to not overwhelm me. He has performed my full shoulder replacement and he is helping me through the recovery process now.
