Colleen Swayze, MD

Dr. Colleen Swayze joined Alliance Integrative Medicine in 2022 after practicing as a board-certified OBGYN for over 20 years. Dr. Swayze completed her medical degree at Vanderbilt University and then completed her residency at the University of Cincinnati. She is currently a fellow in the Integrative Medicine Physician of Excellence program at Alliance Integrative Medicine. In addition, she is studying acupuncture through UCLA Helms Medical Institute and functional medicine through the Institute of Functional Medicine.

Dr. Swayze decided to pursue medicine due to her love of biology and her desire to help people. Her passion for patient wellness led her from women’s health to integrative medicine where she is able to support her patients through careful listening and collaboration to help patients think outside the box about how to get better.

“It is refreshing to move into practicing a type of medicine I truly believe in after working for so many years in women’s health. I enjoy having the extra time to spend with patients, to collaborate with them to improve their health. I always start with nutrition and stress management – small steps can lead to transformative change!”

In addition to learning more about integrative and functional medicine, Dr. Swayze enjoys cooking and running with friends for social time and stress relief.
