Nikki gave me a second series of gel shots in both knees. They’re usually painful and I am very verbal owwwwwing!! …which I warned her. I asked for my purse to clutch since I was sitting on the table. Before I finished asking her to remind me to breathe she had pricked me and injected the gel and was finished. Same occuramce with other knee. It was amazing!

Nikki is exceptional. She takes ample time to discuss and explain the condition and patiently answer my questions. She never seems tense or stressed or too busy to spend time with me.

Injuries happen even when you’re far away from home. I needed quick evaluation to learn how severe my injury was and what intervention may be needed. Swift Institute was able to take me as a walk-in. I didn’t have to wait too long and had answers in a fraction of the time it would have taken had I gone to an ER. Nikki and her staff were so nice, efficient, and helpful. Not that I want to be injured again, but if I were while in Reno, I’d come back!

Very personable and willing to listen. She was conservative in her treatment options for my particular case, which I really appreciated.
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.
