Tucson · Catalina Foothills
Expert, board-certified primary care for adults who want more from medicine: same-day availability, GLP-1 & hormone therapy, sports medicine, and a practice built around your long-term health.
Why Patients Choose Us
Most primary care practices are built around volume: 15-minute slots, rushed visits, a different face every time. Swan River is built around you.
You have a dedicated physician-NP team. They know your history, coordinate your care, and are genuinely available. We all have lives rooted in Tucson and we plan on staying here for the long haul.
Appointments with room to actually talk. We address the physical and the mental, the acute and the chronic, all in the same visit if that's what you need.
GLP-1 weight management, hormone therapy, sports medicine, and mental health, all under one roof, all in the context of your complete health history.
What We Treat
We've built a practice around the health conversations adults in Tucson tell us they haven't been able to have anywhere else.
We evaluate and prescribe GLP-1 medications, including semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro), as part of a medically supervised plan that includes your full health history, lifestyle, and long-term follow-up. No shame. No shortcuts.
New in 2026: Medicare now covers semaglutide (Wegovy), tirzepatide (Zepbound), and Orforglipron (Foundayo) for eligible Part D members through the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program - just $50, no Part D deductible. If you're on Medicare and have been waiting to start, now is the time. Ask us about your eligibility.
Learn about GLP-1 careHot flashes, brain fog, poor sleep, mood changes: a primary care physician who knows your full picture is the right first call. We offer HRT evaluation and management for women at every stage of perimenopause and menopause.
Women's health & HRTNon-operative sports medicine, joint pain, overuse injuries, and proactive longevity planning, for hikers, cyclists, pickleball players, and anyone who wants to stay active well into their 60s, 70s, and beyond.
Active aging & sports medicineLow testosterone, energy, mood, muscle loss, and metabolic health, evaluated with real lab work and an honest conversation about what options, including TRT, might make sense for you. No dismissiveness. No judgment.
Men's health & TRTDiabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, thyroid disease: we build a personalized management plan, monitor your progress, and adjust as your health evolves. Ongoing care by a physician who knows the full picture.
Chronic disease managementAnxiety, depression, and ADHD are among the most common things we see, and the most undertreated. We make space for that conversation, rule out underlying causes, and work with you on a plan that fits your life.
Mental health in primary careOur Approach
The Catalina Foothills attracts people who take their health seriously: hikers, cyclists, golfers, pickleball players, and adults planning decades of active life ahead of them. We've built a practice around that reality: preventive medicine, musculoskeletal care, hormones, and longevity planning, all inside a primary care relationship that knows you and stays with you.
Request Your First AppointmentUnlike many local wellness practices, we work with your insurance so there are no membership fees or out-of-pocket surprises.
Every patient has a Physician-NP team, each with distinct strengths and always coordinated. Physician-led doesn't mean NP-assisted. It means you have a team on your side.
Ultrasound-guided injections, musculoskeletal evaluation, and active-aging programs. No specialist referral needed for most joint and muscle concerns.
Weight, hormones, and longevity don't exist in silos. We're one of the few practices in Tucson managing all three in one coordinated relationship.

Primary Care Team
Our growing team of physicians and advanced practice providers is united by a shared commitment to relationship-based care and same-day availability for Tucson adults.
Accepting New PatientsHow Our Team Works
At Swan River, every patient has a physician-NP team, not a solo provider. Our physicians bring depth in complex diagnosis, procedural care, and specialty areas like sports medicine and metabolic health. Our nurse practitioners bring continuity, accessibility, and the kind of relationship that makes day-to-day health feel manageable. We all have individual strengths and areas of expertise. We cover for each other, consult each other, and stay aligned on your care. That's not a workaround. That's better medicine.
The TRIM Program
At Swan River we believe in helping our patients achieve their optimal body composition. This shouldn't mean a separate clinic, a membership fee, or fragmented care. TRIM, directed by Dr. Robert Lystrup, brings medically supervised weight loss into your primary care, combining GLP-1 therapy (or other medications when appropriate) with honest, doable nutrition and movement guidance. We also help you preserve muscle mass and achieve your independence goals. Your full health history stays front and center, so the plan fits you. And because TRIM runs through your primary care, we work with your insurance and build in coverage wherever possible, including newer options like Medicare's GLP-1 Bridge, to keep costs as low as we can. No shame. No shortcuts. Just real, supported progress.
Patient Stories
"Very happy to find a Dr that feels like the old family doctor I grew up with. I hope to be here for years!"
"Very pleased. I had to find a new PCP after my previous doctor switched to a high-price concierge model, which just wasn't an option for me. I found Swan River and couldn't be happier. It's exactly the kind of straightforward, quality primary care I was looking for."
"Best primary care physician I have had. Personable, knowledgeable, very responsive to requests for referrals and refills."
