About
My family and schooling are an extremely important part of me. I went to medical school and residency at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I now enjoy visiting the city for Badger games and to spend time with my daughter who is a student there. I enjoy spending time watching my youngest daughter Sonia participate in her sports activities at her high school and being a part of that community. I’m proud of my son Cal who is going to Indianapolis this year to pursue a career in medicine. My husband Paul enjoys a career as a pilot at United Airlines. I’m happy to share my family with you.
I look forward to being a part of your team as you raise your children. I want the best for all my patients. I love hearing about all their awards and accomplishments at their well child checks and I hold your children as my own when they are sick. I feel like they are a part of my own family. I feel such an honor and privilege to be able to serve my community and look forward to meeting you.

Dr. Swanson is always the most patient and understanding. We love her!
Dr. Swanson is the absolute best - we have been seeing her for about 2.5 years now since we moved to the Milwaukee area. She was recommended to us by a friend who also uses her. She is so compassionate, caring, a great listener...I feel very lucky to have her as our Pediatrician. I had tried a few other Peds in the area and I wasn't super impressed...and then I found Dr. Swanson. She is wonderful.
Love Dr Swanson and her MAs they always make us feel so welcomed, heard, and help the kids be less scared.
We love Dr. Swanson!!
Friendly, sweet, kind
