Dr Swanson was born and raised in Rockford, Illinois. He attended the University of Illinois for his undergrad, where he majored in Molecular and Cellular Biology and minored in chemistry. He then graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago Dental School, before completing an advanced education in general dentistry residency at the Zablocki VA hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. After too many midwestern winters, he decided it was time to move away and made his way out to Arizona to begin his dental career. Dr. Swanson enjoys the variability of general dentistry and loves to explain treatments and educate patients on their dental needs.

Most of Dr. Swanson’s free time is spent grilling in the backyard or playing golf somewhere throughout the valley. He loves to talk sports, even though all his teams do nothing but disappoint him. He lives in Chandler with his wonderful fiancé.

Dr Alex grew up in metro Detroit and attended Michigan State University. Upon graduating, he packed up his life and moved to Arizona to attend dental school at Midwestern University-Glendale.

Dr Alex has completed 3 dental service trips to Honduras and Guatemala to provide much-needed dental care to underserved communities, and he plans to continue to use his skills to help others in need around the world.
