Biography
As a surgeon, I specialize in performing advanced endoscopic and minimally invasive procedures to treat a variety of issues. I am passionate about utilizing cutting-edge technologies to provide exceptional surgical care for patients with conditions such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gallbladder disease, and hernias of the diaphragm, abdominal wall, or groin.
When evaluating a patient, I take a holistic approach to their care. I believe the best care is delivered when a physician takes the time to listen to their patient’s needs. I work with each patient to identify their goals and values and create a care pathway that is customized to their specific situation.
In addition to providing minimally invasive surgical care, I am passionate about developing and answering important research questions that can advance the field forward and improve delivery of care. My research interests include continuing to advance minimally invasive and robotic surgery capabilities, improving quality outcomes and ways to reduce opioid use after surgery. My research has been widely published in peer-reviewed journals and I have delivered many presentations at national and international medical conferences.
My role includes actively participating in the education and training of medical students, surgical residents and fellows. I am also an assistant professor of surgery at The Ohio State University.
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family, attending Ohio State football games and traveling.

He was very informative and my husband and I are very pleased with the care he showed for me
Dr Patrick Sweigert was the provider and he was excellent. He listened to what I had to say and he assured me that my problem was not critical but needed to be watched. I felt confident with his advice and feel I can call him if needed.
Above an beyond he was best doctor I have had in a long time
Doc showed concern, very knowledgeable on where we were headed, gentle, and pleasant.
Knowledgeable, respectful, concerned for my health
Great
I was really impressed by Dr Sweigert. He took the time to listen to me, and he gave his recommendation and next steps in a clear and informative way. I feel grateful to have him as my surgeon.
The doctor and medical student were very nice. The doctor did an excellent job of explaining things to me. He also answered my questions thoroughly. The one thing I might have liked was a "visual aid" of the procedure, but I didn't think to ask for one.
Knowledgeable
Care provider was fine
Dr Swigert was prompt /knowledgeable when I needed answers. He was compassionate but efficient in answering my concerns. I would recommend him for anyone who had similar gut issues.
I have the upmost respect for Dr. Sweigert, he did my bariatric history.He tells me what I need to know & why. I feel very comfortable in speaking with him about anything. Very easy, caring doctor
I can't say enough good things about this doctor. He's one of the most caring, kind, and knowledgeable doctors I've ever met. After having bad experiences with two other doctors elsewhere, I was very nervous and hesitant about surgery. From the very beginning, he made me feel comfortable and confident that I was in good hands.He came to see me morning and night during my two days in the hospital, which truly showed how much he cares about his patients. I'm now six weeks post-op, and I can honestly say he gave me my life back. I'll always be grateful for his compassion and skill.
Dr. Sweigert is an excellent general surgeon. He demonstrates exemplary interpersonal skills, good humor, and professional knowledge. I feel most fortunate to have had him repair my inguinal hernia.
