Kevin Drew, M.D. established Michiana Spine in 1997. Dr. Drew was called by our Father to use the best medical options available, combined with compassion and relationships, to restore our patient's body in the image of our Maker.

Following his desire to provide the best care and treatment for his patients, Dr. Drew expanded Michiana Spine to four connected practices: Integrated Pain Specialists at Michiana Spine, The Arthritis Center at Michiana Spine, The Physical Therapy Center at Michiana Spine and The Bone Health Center at Michiana Spine. Michiana Spine has grown to four offices and continues this vision in Mishawaka, IN and Niles, St. Joseph and Kalamazoo, MI.

Dr. Drew attended Andrews University in Berrien Springs, MI and received his medical degree from Loma Linda University in California.

Devoted to faith, family and healing, Dr. Drew and his wife have six children. He welcomes new patients and comes to work each day to help his patients recapture their life.

One of the nation's most distinguished Rheumatologists, Dr. Swartz joined Dr. Drew in 2015 to form The Arthritis Center at Michiana Spine. Dr. Swartz received his Bachelor's degree from Kalamazoo College. He then graduated from Yale University School of Medicine.

While attending Yale, Dr. Swartz was working in the treatment of children with immunodeficiency disorders when he became interested in how the immune system is involved in the cause of autoimmune diseases. This interest fueled his professional career.

First, Dr. Swartz completed his Residency at Yale-New Haven Hospital. He then studied further as a Fellow in Allergy and Clinical Immunology at Yale before joining Johns Hopkins School of Medicine as a Fellow in Rheumatology.

Dr. Swartz then shared this passion, first as an Instructor and Assistant Professor at University of Chicago and later as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at Michigan State University. Dr. Swartz has wriNen many articles and abstracts which have been published.

In 1993, Dr. Swartz moved to Kalamazoo where he endeavors daily to help his patients reduce the impact of autoimmune diseases and return to the active life they desire. A husband and father of two daughters, Dr. Swartz enjoys tennis and stone collecting in his spare time.

Dr. Swartz is accepting new patients by referral in our Kalamazoo office. Appointments can be made by calling our central scheduling department at 574-252-4150.
