Elizabeth Swanson, MD

Physician Biography

Dr. Lisa Swanson is Ada West Dermatology’s newest addition to the stellar clinical staff. Dual-board certified in dermatology AND pediatric dermatology, Dr. Swanson will fulfill a much needed niche in pediatric dermatology for the region as there is not a pediatric dermatologist within a 350 mile radius. She loves the difficult pediatric dermatology cases for diagnosis and treatment of newborns, infants, toddlers, and teenagers but is also very adept with general adult dermatology cases.

After medical school at Tulane University, she did her dermatology residency at the world-renowned Mayo Clinic, followed by a pediatric dermatology fellowship at Phoenix Children’s hospital.

Dr. Swanson is an active lecturer at national conferences discussing pediatric dermatology with clinical audiences across the country. She is a past President of the Colorado Dermatologic Society. Known for her excellent bedside manner and expertise, she has been selected as a “Top Doc” by 5280 Magazine in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. In addition to outpatient visits, Dr. Swanson plans to do hospital consults and perform procedures.

Dr. Swanson loves sports and likes to spend her free time hiking, skiing, trying new restaurants, and spending time with her family, friends and her 2 dogs.
