Lincoln Medical Partners orthopaedic surgeons practice in the Herbert & Roberta Watson Health Center on the LincolnHealth – Miles Campus in Damariscotta, Maine. The Orthopaedic surgeons and clinical staff focus on the medical and surgical treatment of injuries, deformities, and diseases of the musculoskeletal system including bones, muscles, joints, tendons, and nerves.

“I’ve been in at least 12 hospital systems or hospitals, and this culture stands out. What absolutely drew me here was the exemplary commitment to patient care that begins with the leadership. Many of our team members have been working here a long time and are extraordinarily good at their jobs. A positive culture is contagious and the LincolnHealth culture struck my core values” said Dr. Swall.

With a broad educational background, she earned her undergraduate degree from the United States Air Force Academy, her graduate degree from Colorado State University, and her medical degree from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine.

Her military career was impressive and included a stint as an orthopaedic surgeon working on some of the most difficult cases during war time in Afghanistan, earning her the Afghanistan Campaign Medal.
