About Me

I’m Robert Swanson, MD, a radiation oncologist who joined Phelps Health in 2019. I see and treat adult patients (ages 18 and up) for cancer and some nonmalignant (noncancerous) diseases. I treat patients with radiation therapy, using targeted and regulated doses of radiation to kill cancer cells.

My interests in life science, physics, research and healthcare led me to pursue a career in radiation oncology. As a cancer provider, my care philosophy is to treat patients as I would like to be treated. I have nearly 30 years of experience in my field.

I am proud to be a part of the Phelps Health Delbert Day Cancer Institute (DDCI), a nationally accredited cancer center involved with cancer research.

Everyone, and I mean every one was above expectations regarding my treatment, recovery and ongoing care. It's really great to see a care provider absolutely nail the experience. The worse days of my life made easier due to the professionalism and attention to my care.

I only went there once. Met everyone once. I would have to wait to see if all my experiences are good. Just being honest.
