He attended the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in medical biology.

After earning his DDS degree with High Distinction, he was accepted directly into a residency program for training as a specialist.
Dr. Swiderski completed a six-year residency program in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon at the world-renowned Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Some of the first orthognathic (jaw) and dental implant surgery procedures performed in the United States were done at the Mayo Clinic by some of Dr. Swiderski’s instructors.
While at the prestigious Mayo Clinic, Dr. Swiderski was trained in the full scope of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, including management of a wide variety of problems relating to the mouth, teeth, and facial regions, including wisdom tooth removal and management of facial pathology. He can also diagnose and treat facial injuries and perform a full range of dental implant procedures and bone grafting. In addition, Dr. Swiderski also received comprehensive training in the administration of general anesthesia and intravenous sedation.
Dr. Swiderski is a certified Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, which places him in an exclusive category of oral surgeons. To become a board-certified oral surgeon, Dr. Swiderski was required to demonstrate extensive training, experience, and knowledge in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon by passing both a written examination and a rigorous oral examination by the certifying board. Successful completion of this process by Dr. Swiderski means that you are assured he is extremely competent in all aspects of oral and maxillofacial surgery.
Dr. Swiderski is trained both as a physician and an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. The residency training program at the Mayo Clinic is integrated with the Mayo Medical School, meaning that while in training, he obtained a Doctor of Medicine degree and is licensed to practice medicine in addition to dentistry in the State of Oregon.
As a dedicated husband and father of three children, Dr. Swiderski has many interests outside of oral surgery, including running and traveling.
