Mason City, Iowa; May 2, 2023– MercyOne is excited to announce it has opened a new Family and Sports Medicine location in Mason City.

The MercyOne North Iowa Family and Sports Medicine care team is led by primary care and sports medicine specialist, John Swisher, DO, CAQ, FAAFP. The team collaborates with physical therapists and other medical professionals to help you quickly and safely recover from athletic injuries with advanced treatment options.

Located at 910 N. Eisenhower Avenue on MercyOne’s west campus, MercyOne North Iowa Family and Sports Medicine can diagnosis and treat sports injuries for athletes of all ages and skill levels – from kids just learning the game to older adults who are maintaining an active lifestyle.

Dr. Swisher says it’s easy for him to connect with athletes suffering from an injury. “A torn ACL prevented me from competing at the college level. I understand what playing sports means to you as an athlete. Our goal for your treatment is to get you back in the game as soon as possible.”

Patients who suffer from a sports injury are often able to be seen at MercyOne Family and Sports Medicine the following business day, providing convenient access to follow-up care. The location offers telehealth appointments and treats a variety of non-operative orthopedic injuries including:

  • Back pain
  • Bursitis
  • Sprains and strains
  • Sports concussions
  • Stress fractures
  • Tendon disorders
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Skin infections

MercyOne North Iowa Family and Sports Medicine is open from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday – Friday. Schedule your appointment online or call 641-428-5811.
