Biography

Todd M. Swenson, M.D.

Sports Medicine Orthopaedic Surgeon

Dr. Swenson is board-certified, fellowship-trained, specializing in the practice of sports medicine, including arthroscopic and reconstructive surgery of the knee and shoulder.

Dr. Swenson holds a subspecialty certification in Orthopedic Sports Medicine, and serves as medical director and head team physician for Concordia University Athletics. Additionally he is an orthopedic consultant and team physician for UW-Milwaukee Athletics.

I was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota and then was raised in Madison, Wisconsin where I resided from the second grade through my graduation from Medical School. Following six years of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine training in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania I returned to Wisconsin where I have remained in practice since 1995. During my free time, I enjoy fitness, golf, and being an avid sports fan.
