Dr. Whitney Swander
Doctor of Audiology
Dr. Whitney Swander discovered her calling to help people while studying at the University of Northern Colorado, where she earned dual bachelor’s degrees in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology in 1998 and completed her master’s degree in Audiology in 2000.
Her professional journey began at Hearing HealthCare Centers in May 2000, when the practice was still owned by founder Jim Boggess. In 2008, she purchased the Boulder and Longmont locations and steadily grew the practice to eight thriving Front Range locations. In 2020, she made the strategic decision to close one location, and in 2024 she sold three others to focus on deepening care and services at her remaining offices. Today, she continues to guide a strong, patient-centered practice that reflects her belief that great hearing care is about more than better hearing—it’s about living better and feeling fully engaged. Her vision is that every person who walks through the clinic’s doors feels welcomed, cared for, and confident in their journey to better hearing.
Dr. Swander’s dedication to excellence has earned national recognition. She was honored as a Notable Woman in Health Care by BizWest magazine and received the Leo Doerfler Award in 2022, the most prestigious honor from the Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA). This award recognizes an audiologist who provides outstanding clinical service and leadership throughout their career. In 2024, she further advanced the profession by serving on the Board of the Academy of Doctors of Audiology and continues to share her expertise and leadership by serving on the Financial Board of her church.
Her commitment to global hearing care has taken her on multiple mission trips to Africa with the Starkey Hearing Foundation, where she fits hearing aids for those in need.
When she’s not helping patients or guiding her team, Dr. Swander loves spending time with her husband, Jeff, and their two rescued beagles, Maddie and Marley. She also enjoys gardening and cooking, pursuits that reflect the same care and creativity she brings to her professional life.
