Biography
Dr. Brian Schwartz is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon, fellowship-trained in Hip and Knee Reconstruction at Harvard Brigham and Women's Hospital. His focus is on the preservation and reconstruction of the musculoskeletal system, specifically the hip and knee. “Building trust with my patients is of key importance. At all times, I put the patient’s best interests first and work toward a treatment path that best suits the individual’s needs.” Dr. Schwartz received his undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, then attained his Doctor of Medicine at the University of Illinois College of Medicine. He went on to an orthopedic surgery residency at the University of Illinois and completed his training with a fellowship in Total Joint Arthroplasty at Brigham and Women’s Hospital at Harvard University in Boston.
Dr. Schwartz is a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons, and Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society. He has served as a lecturer and editor at the American Physician Institute in Chicago, and has had numerous papers published in such professional journals as the Journal of Arthroplasty, American Journal of Sports Medicine and International Orthopaedics.
A strong patient physician relationship starts by putting the patient’s best interests first."
