Avril Swan, MD

Dr. Swan has been practicing medicine in California since 2000 and is certified by the American Board of Family Medicine. She graduated from Mayo Medical School and completed her residency at the University of California, San Francisco.

Dr. Swan joined Dr. Miller in 2003 and since that time has developed her interest in integrating traditional western medicine with alternative modalities. She has completed education in nutrition, primary care homeopathy, and physician acupuncture.

Dr. Swan’s style is strongly collaborative and based on the belief that given knowledge and support, that most people can make intelligent decisions about their own health care. She believes that stress, state of mind, and environment are important factors when addressing an individual’s health concerns.

Dr. Swan is strongly committed to education—medical and general. She has completed a fellowship in Medical Education and teaches family medicine to medical students and resident physicians at the University of California, San Francisco.  In addition, she has taught about nutrition and eating disorder awareness in San Francisco Public Schools.

Dr. Swan offers medical acupuncture as a part of her clinical care.

While she loves all aspects of family medicine, she has a particular interest and expertise in eating disorders.

Dr. Swan grew up and went to school in San Francisco. She is a mother to three wonderful girls ages 3-15 and she is married to Stuart, an English and Social Sciences teacher in the San Francisco Unified School District.

Dr. Swan has hospital privileges at California Pacific Medical Center.
