My patients and I have a collaborative process in which I walk them through all their options and help them evaluate which will lead to the most successful outcome.
Dr. Schwartz is a Sports Medicine board certified physician and was an assistant team physician for the Atlanta Falcons and Georgia Tech Yellowjackets while in Fellowship. He began his career training with one of the pioneers of the quad tendon ACL reconstruction. Dr. Schwartz also specializes in hip arthroscopies, complex knee and shoulder arthroscopies, and total and reverse shoulder replacements.
Dr. Schwartz loves being able to solve problems and get his patients back to work or their favorite activity at the same level they were at before an injury. Whether it’s fixing a teenager’s ACL before their senior football season or repairing a rotator cuff for a retiree to get them back on the pickleball court, he takes immense pride when his patients get back to their lives pain free.
Dr. Schwartz loves living in Portland because of the food scene and easy access to the outdoors. Outside of work, he enjoys hiking, biking, traveling, skiing, going out to restaurants and watching Chicago sports (go Bulls).
