She’s the best, answered all my questions and gave me a lot of information about when I could see a dentist and other health care issues.

Great experience. I appreciate her showing me the c-ray and explaining to me why there’s a necessity of taking the next step to get an MRI to get a diagnosis as to my condition.

Nilkki is such a wonderful person, always smiling and genuinely cares about her patients! Talking to her is never a chore. She takes whatever time that’s necessary to explain things and makes sure you understand everything. I have the utmost respect for her!

I was VERY comfortable at Swift Institute. Nikki Hannon took her time explaining everything to me and I never felt rushed. I received a nice packet with paper copies of my xrays, also explaining what to expect before and after surgery
Peter the xray specialist was very helpful and patient. Thankyou :)
Nikki Hannon, PA-C joined the Swift Institute joint replacement team in 2024. While Nikki was raised in Portola, California, she has called Reno, Nevada, home for most of her life. She is a proud first-generation college graduate and credits her strong work ethic to her upbringing in a hardworking family.
She completed her undergraduate degree in Public Health and a Master of Physician Assistant Studies at the University of Nevada, Reno. While pursuing her Master's in Physician Assistant Studies, she did a clinical rotation with a joint replacement specialist. As she completed her degree, Nikki knew she wanted to work in the orthopedic specialty. She is particularly interested in hip, knee, and sports medicine, which she attributes to her active lifestyle.
Nikki's path to a Physician Assistant career specializing in orthopedics began when she was in high school and found herself sidelined with a sports injury. Multiple injuries—and successful outcomes—later, she had a strong appreciation for the orthopedic specialists who helped her get back to the sports she loved.
Nikki's training includes orthopedics, emergency medicine, physical therapy, pediatrics, women's health, and neurosurgery. This broad experience enhances her understanding of patient health and offers her a well-rounded skillset.
She appreciates the northern Nevada region's outdoor opportunities in her spare time and particularly enjoys mountain biking and hiking.
