Swift Institute Out in the community! 🌟

Lorenzo Bayuga, PA, and Marcy Echevarria, Physician Liaison, spent time engaging with the Gardnerville/Minden community to provide education on available treatment options for hand injuries.

During these interactions, they shared exciting updates about our new standalone MRI at the SWIFT Mica Drive location, bringing faster access to imaging and seamless connections to specialty providers across all SWIFT locations.

We love being out in the community, building relationships, and making high-quality care more accessible.

Team Member Spotlight: Meet Alysa! 🌟

This is what Dr. Lilyquist, wanted to share about Alysa:

Alysa has the brightest smile and one of the most genuinely caring personalities I know. She has a way of making every single person feel heard, seen, and truly cared for.

Patients light up when they see Alysa. She remembers who they are, how their families are doing, and what they’re going through—and is often greeted with hugs. She doesn’t just support patients; she makes the entire experience warm, welcoming, and positive.

Family and friends are everything to Alysa. If there’s a free moment on her weekend, it’s filled with time spent loving on the people closest to her. She’s fiercely loyal, endlessly supportive, and brings that same devotion into everything she does. She also loves spending time with her fiancĆ© and is wildly passionate about volleyball—despite being vertically challenged šŸ˜‰

We’ve worked together for many years, and our connection is so strong we can practically read each other’s minds. Long days and tough moments feel lighter because of Alysa’s positivity, compassion, and ability to see the good in any situation. She truly makes every day better just by being exactly who she is.

We’re so grateful to have Alysa on our team—she brings kindness, compassion, and joy into our clinic every single day, and we’re better because of her! šŸ¤

When our providers truly listen, share all options, and genuinely care, it makes a world of difference.šŸ’™

Here’s what a patient recently shared about their experience with Dr. Gyorfi:
ā€œThis doctor is truly phenomenal. He listens carefully, presents options, and genuinely considers my wants and needs before creating a treatment plan. I’ve been extremely happy with both his care and the plans we’ve developed together. I look forward to continuing my care and, hopefully, one day being completely pain-free.ā€

Dr. Gyorfi takes the time to personalize care and support patients every step of the way. Your health, comfort, and goals always come first! We’re here to partner with you on your journey toward a pain-free, functional life.

Thank you, Dr. Gyorfi, for listening, collaborating, and empowering patients to feel confident in their treatment plans.

Join us in welcoming Aleksa Denny, OTR/L, CHT, COMT-UL, to the Swift Institute! šŸ‘

Aleksa is a dedicated hand therapist proudly serving the Reno and Carson City communities. She joined the Swift Institute team in 2026 and brings over 4.5 years of experience in hand therapy.

She earned her Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from Sacred Heart University and holds advanced certifications as a Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) and Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist for the Upper Limbs (COMT-UL).

Aleksa’s approach to care centers on treating the whole person—not just the injury. She’s passionate about helping patients regain independence, return to daily activities, and get back to doing what they love. šŸ’ŖāœØ

Her inspiration for hand therapy began while volunteering at an outpatient clinic, where she witnessed the profound impact a certified hand therapist could have on patients’ lives—and she’s been dedicated to that mission ever since.

When she’s not in the clinic, Aleksa stays active with skiing, weightlifting, hiking, running, swimming, and spending time with family. A lifelong competitive swimmer, she’s also a proud Buffalo Bills fan šŸˆšŸ’™ā¤ļø

We’re so excited to have you on board, Aleksa! šŸŽ‰

Candie shared that our patients love seeing our staff wearing pink on Wednesdays! Some even schedule their appointments specifically on Wednesdays just to see everyone in pink, it brightens their mood and makes their visit more enjoyable.It’s such a small gesture that makes a big difference, and it’s always wonderful to see when entering the clinic.

When going to a doctor’s office, you never know what to expect. Our providers take the time to make each visit a positive experience—whether that means answering questions, easing nerves, or simply providing reassurance. šŸ’™

Here’s what a patient recently shared about their experience with Lorenzo Bayuga, PA-C:
"Very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Lorenzo was very informative and answered all my questions. We really appreciate all his help—thank you! Overall, it was a very positive experience. It’s so unusual to have such a great experience at a doctor’s office."

Thank you, Lorenzo, for showing compassion, professionalism, and care—making a positive difference during every patient encounter!🌟

This past weekend, Swift Institute had the opportunity to be part of the National Pole Vault Summit at the Reno Livestock Events Center!

We were honored to have two of our incredible Physician Assistants, Ryan Tognotti, PA-C and Brad Bus, PA-C, on site to support athletes in the event of an injury.

Thankfully, there were no serious injuries, but having trusted medical professionals on staff is always essential. Seeing our providers in their element is something we’re incredibly proud of.

With nearly 2,000 athletes in attendance, many of them Olympic-level, it was amazing to witness such talent and dedication firsthand. Ryan and Brad had the chance to meet Kathryn (Katie) Moon, Olympic and World Champion pole vaulter!

Thank you USC Spirit for inviting Swift Institute to be part of such an incredible weekend! šŸ¤

Recovering from a shoulder replacement can feel overwhelming, but having the right support makes all the difference.

Here’s what a patient recently shared about their experience with Jeffrey Kertis, PT:
"Jeff has taken me through two total shoulder replacements. He’s incredibly helpful, attentive, and extremely professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone requiring physical therapy."

Thank you, Jeff, for guiding our patients through their recovery with such care, professionalism, and dedication! šŸ™Œ

We kicked off our monthly theme days with Cozy Sweater Day. ā„ļø The perfect way to end the week, especially after the snowfall and those extra-cold days we experienced last week. There’s nothing better than staying warm and cozy in the office!

We loved seeing all the different sweater styles, everyone’s idea of ā€œcomfyā€ looked a little different, and was totally their own!

We always enjoy visiting the clinics, catching up with our staff, and taking a few photos along the way. This is just the beginning of our yearly theme days, and we can’t wait to share the next one!

🌟 Patient Connect: Carmen’s Journey to Walking Without Pain 🌟

Meet Carmen. After years of severe hip problems and multiple surgeries—including hip replacements and lumbar procedures—Carmen’s journey toward full mobility has been anything but easy. A fall earlier this year required a second back surgery, but with the support of Dr. Perry and the Swift team, she’s been unstoppable in her recovery.

Now, six months post-procedure, Carmen is fully committed to regaining her independence. She attends PT twice a week, completes daily exercises, and wears a back brace as part of her six-month recovery plan. šŸ’Ŗ ā€œI want my body back. I want to be independent. Anything I can do for myself to feel better; I want to do it. I’m in a hurry, but I’m learning to slow down,ā€ she shares.

Carmen finds joy in every step she takes on the trails near her home and continues to inspire others through her story and involvement with her veterans group. ā€œI wanted to be part of Patient Connect to share what’s possible and highlight positive outcomes I’ve experienced firsthand,ā€ she says.

Her journey is a true testament to perseverance, dedication, and the power of a supportive medical team. ā€œI wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. This team has helped me get my life back,ā€ Carmen concludes. ā¤ļø
