Stephen Swirsky, D.O., knew early on he wanted to be a physician. However, his path to being an orthopedic sports surgeon had a few detours.
“From the time I was young, I had the idea that I would be a doctor,” he said. “However, through various educational endeavors, I became an athletic trainer and then a physical therapist.”
Dr. Swirsky eventually decided to attend medical school to pursue his dream of becoming a physician. A sports medicine specialist, he is part of the Broward Health Physician Group.
Dr. Swirsky has served as a medical director, delegation physician and team physician for USA Judo and various Olympic games, saying, “I chose orthopedic surgery as my career path likely, in part, to the various injuries I sustained when I was younger and playing sports.”
Dr. Swirsky is enthusiastic about caring for athletes, weekend warriors and everyone in between. He uses minimally invasive robotic surgery to help achieve optimal results for patients.
“Robotic-arm assisted technology provides us with an innovative option to treat adults living with mid- to late-stage osteoarthritis of the hip and knee,” he said.
Dr. Swirsky, who is certified with the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery, has been in practice for more than 20 years. He graduated from Nova Southeastern University’s medical school in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Dr. Swirsky completed his residency in orthopedic and microvascular surgeries at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, FL.
