Simply the best! Helped out my shoulder after I dislocated it multiple times, and stabilized it so I haven't had the problem for 3 years!

Dr. Dan fixed my torn rotator cuff, and I am so happy that I went to him. I talked with two other downtown shoulder doctors, and neither made me feel as confident as he did. Sure enough; it worked out like he said. Search no more, this is your guy. Straight shooter, no bs, great guy. Love em and his team

I had a great experience with Dr. Schwartz. I had previous shoulder instability surgery on my right shoulder in 2011 by another surgeon in the Seattle area. My shoulder was okay for about 12 months after that surgery. I then suffered another dislocation. I saw my surgeon again I think in 2013 and he wanted to do another soft tissue (Bankart repair?) on my shoulder but this just didn't feel right to try the same thing again. So I did the stupid thing. I waited. I had 7 more dislocations until 2017. I then met Dr. Schwartz. He offered a different kind of operation called a latarjet. He did it with a camera in my shoulder (not open). My shoulder has been rock solid since then with no issues what so ever.

I really appreciate his expertise, frankness, and willingness to completely provide any evidence from literature to support his opinion. I've ultimately just had a great experience, and recently saw him and was so happy with my results that I wanted to write here! Thanks!

I had a great intial visit, surgical experience, and postop experience with Dr. Schwartz and his team. I have to say what impressed me the most was the time he took to spend with me. He involved himself well with my decision making process, and let me really decide what we wanted to do. The surgery itself went well, was pretty painful, but he counseled me that it would be like. Ultimately the hardest part was rehabing the shoulder. He followed closely along and made sure that I reached the goals that we had previously set. I really cannot recommend him highy enough. Great physician, great surgeon, and my buddy too!

I found Dr. Schwartz to be extremely useful and wonderful in his care of my family. He has not only operated on myself, but my wife as well. He has always been very sincere, and professional. He does have a sense of humor that might not be for everyone, but we love him, and more importantly the work that he has done has been excellent. Thanks again Dr. S!

I found Dr. Schwartz to be inappropriate in conversation on my surgery day, swearing in my presence and even remarking negatively about his marriage! He was also less than helpful regarding post surgery questions. His nurse was too soft spoken and barely communicative to the point of appearing impolite! Some of Dr. Scwart's remarks and tone of voice made him appear to be arrogant and egotistical. He says that he is only there to serve you but But his words are empty.

He is the best shoulder Doctor. I'm so surprised at the time he takes to explain things, you really get the sense that he really cares. I recommend him to my friends and family without hesitation.

Excellent professionalism, really cared about my health rather than seeking to "sell me" on ancillary services.
