The reviews listed below were collected independently of Swift Institute through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
She’s professional & warm, understood my need for more holistic care. Deep listener, looking into face instead of paper or screen. Confident in sharing treatment options, giving me oppty to think and choose. One suggestion, might be good idea to vibe more info about side effects. She did explain a bit about possible “leak” in steroid shot.
The support staff staff were also compassionate while being “on purpose”

Nikki is excellent at explaining my knee problem including how to care for my knee to keep strength and motion, and without further damage to the joint. She also does a great job of a pain free steroid injection. I trust Nikki and Dr Owens with my health.

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.
