Schwartz, and is a driving professional force that helps to get him out of bed in the morning. Finally the impact that a well done surgery of the shoulder can have on someone’s life is something very personal to Dr. Therefore the diversity of patient problems keeps work very interesting, as well as the ability to have multiple tools to help people.Īdditionally, the difference between a trained shoulder surgeon performing shoulder surgery versus less intensively trained specialists was remarkable and noticeable during residency and fellowship training, so the desire to be able to expertly help people was attractive while also providing superior results to other physicians. Few specialty fields in orthopedics exist where the surgeon can arthroscopically address a problem, then fix a fracture, and then perform a shoulder replacement all while using specifically/specially trained skills purposely learned in training. Schwartz’s desire to become a shoulder surgeon was driven by the love of the anatomy of the shoulder, and the ability to treat most issues minimally invasively while maintaining the option (and subsequently getting expert training in) for more invasive options.

Schwartz has been named an “Emerging Leader” in Orthopaedic Surgery by the American Orthopaedic Association since 2013, and has recently been appointed to the Social Media Advisory Board of the premier journal in orthopaedic surgery: JBJS (Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery).ĭr. Schwartz has authored numerous book chapter publications, as well as dozens of Pubmed referenced journal articles regarding shoulder surgery as well as a handful of articles published in the French Orthopaedic literature. Schwartz was involved with chiefly complex shoulder reconstruction, and performed thousands of shoulder replacement operations.ĭr.

Schwartz returned to the United States and completed an ASES (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons) accredited fellowship in Tampa, Florida with Drs. Schwartz to perform multiple other challenging arthroscopic surgery around the shoulder with increased ease. The technical knowledge required to do this allows Dr. Schwartz has the very unique ability to perform an arthroscopic latarjet for shoulder instability, which is a complex shoulder surgery most shoulder surgeons perform open (via a large incision). He spent one year in Annecy and Nice, France working with the world renowned surgeons Laurent Lafosse and Pascal Boileau learning advanced arthroscopic techniques. Schwartz is completely board certified (a diplomate of the ABOS – American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery), is a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and a member of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Society.

This is remarkable because while not every graduate from residency goes on to perform a fellowship, fewer take two years off for training, and even fewer take two years off to study the same anatomical area or specialty. Dr Schwartz’s dedication to patient care and passion to perfecting his surgical skills led him to complete not one but two years of fellowship in shoulder and elbow surgery. He then returned to Northwestern University and completed his residency in Orthopaedic Surgery. Alpha Omega Alpha – a national honor society for the top medical students. Daniel Grant Schwartz stayed in the Chicago area and went to Rush Medical College where he graduated with his M.D. After completing his undergraduate studies in European History at Northwestern University, Dr.
