Christopher Swenson, MD

After arriving at Advanced Radiology Services (ARS) in 2021 with a reputation for outstanding clinical skills on top of a way with people, Dr. Chris Swenson quickly confirmed his new peers’ high hopes by fostering fruitful relationships with hospital partners and referring physicians in and around Grand Rapids, Mich.

Since then he has built on the early success, helping to expand ARS’s interventional oncology service line and to boost the practice’s administrative proficiency. His multitalented prowess led to his being named to ARS’s board of directors, the Advanced Practice Provider Services Committee and a leadership role at the Grand Rapids/Michigan State University interventional radiology residency program.

Dr. Swenson’s Forty Under 40 nominator tells Radiology Business that his ARS colleagues consider him “phenomenal” because of the ease with which he demonstrates clinical expertise and active listening.

“Dr. Swenson’s calm demeanor and positive attitude create a sense of trust and ease for his patients, ensuring they feel heard and cared for,” the nominator says, adding that, even with his demanding professional commitments, he seamlessly balances his work with his personal life as a devoted father of three. “His ability to excel in both spheres of life,” the nominator adds, “serves as an inspiration to aspiring medical professionals and anyone striving for a fulfilling and impactful life.”
