I would like to take this opportunity to tell you more about myself and my experience in healthcare. I am originally from Lombard, Illinois and I earned my B.S. degree in biology at the University of Illinois, Champaign/Urbana in 1998. I continued my studies at the University of Illinois in Chicago, obtaining my medical degree in 2002.
Following my graduation, I completed an internship and pursued advanced orthopedic training as part of my residency at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. In addition, I completed another year at a subspecialty training program, or fellowship, in hand surgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

I am active in continuing education and have spoken at numerous lectures, made presentations, and have authored an orthopedic research publication.
In addition to my extensive medical commitments, I enjoy weightlifting, jogging, tennis, and playing golf.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to further improve your experience at Ortho Illinois. My goal is to provide you the best medical care available.
I am looking forward to meeting you.

He explained things very good and was very nice about it
Was professional, compassionate & conscise!!
Great Doctor and staff.
Excellent explaining condition
Very polite and great communication
Very patient, kind and thorough.
One word fantastic!
I’ve been very skeptical about OrthoIllinos doctors due to my prior visits with other doctors there (which have left me with real poor/bad experiences. it was hard for me to use Orthoillinois again. Due to the time constraints, I’ve decided to give it another try. Dr Schwartz was great! He gets to the point right away with clear and effective diagnosis of the injury and healing process/ options. Not like previous doctor… talked to me into surgery, MRI, XRay from the get go with no clear explanations/diagnosis. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and trust worthy!! I’d definitely go back to him if needed!!
Was seen on time and spent a good amount of time with me. Not rushing to get to the next patient.
Outstanding
