Susan L. Swint M.D., Louisville PM&R and Resilient Life Care.

Dr. Swint is a board certified physiatrist through the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. She is licensed in the state of Kentucky where she owns Louisville PM&R, PLLC, a physiatry consulting service. Dr. Swint sees a wide variety of patients including traumatic brain injury, orthopedics, stroke, spinal cord injury, and neurological disease such as Parkinson’s, etc.
Under Louisville PM&R she joined Resilient Life Care as Medical Director in Dec 2018. RLC is a brain injury group home in LaGrange, KY.

Dr. Swint understands that an injury such as TBI can be devastating to a patient and their loved ones, as there are many complexities to this type of injury. She enjoys helping patients navigate through these chronic, yet fluid, changes by prescribing appropriate therapies, medications, and specialty services that often times are needed for these patients. She finds that spending time with the patient, their support system, and the entire rehab team is vitally important to really understanding the person as a whole through their rehab recovery.
