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. Aaron Schwartz is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist who treats patients in Portland, Oregon. He specializes in knee, shoulder, and hip conditions, including ACL injuries, sports injuries, hip arthroscopy, complex knee and shoulder arthroscopy, rotator cuff repair, total shoulder replacement, and reverse shoulder replacement. He sees patients at The Oregon Clinic Creekside Pavilion in Beaverton and Providence Professional Plaza in Portland.
Dr. Schwartz’s training included working with one of the pioneers of quad tendon ACL reconstruction, an advanced technique used to help athletes and active patients recover from ACL injuries. During his fellowship, he served as an assistant team physician for the Atlanta Falcons and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, an experience that shaped his approach to caring for athletes at all levels.
Dr. Schwartz is passionate about helping patients return to work, sports, and the activities they enjoy. He especially enjoys working with student athletes, active adults, and patients whose goals range from returning to a sports season to getting back to everyday movement with less pain.
Dr. Schwartz enjoys Portland’s food scene and easy access to the outdoors. Outside of work, he spends time hiking, biking, traveling, skiing, going out to restaurants, and cheering on Chicago sports teams.
