Dr. Swab attended the University of Kansas (KU) in Lawrence, where he earned his undergraduate degree in organismal biology. During his time at KU, Dr. Swab was a wide receiver on the Kansas Jayhawks football team. This experience gives him special insight and compassion for sports-related injuries.
After graduating with honors from KU, Dr. Swab completed medical school in his home state of Oklahoma at Oklahoma State University. Following medical school, Dr. Swab matched in an Orthopedic Surgery residency in St. Louis, Missouri, at St. Luke’s Des Peres Hospital.

Dr. Swab is a candidate member of the society of American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons and is one of just a few Shoulder and Elbow specialists in the bi-state area. He is experienced in some of the most complex issues in the field, such as anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty, reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, total elbow arthroplasty, and other complex open and arthroscopic shoulder procedures.
The only thing more important than Dr. Swab’s love of medicine is his love of family. When he is not operating, you can find him with his wife, two kids, and rescue dog out and about in Kansas City.
