Edric Schwartz, MD
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.
My practice is focused on diseases and disorders of the hand and upper extremity. It is my mission to provide all my patients excellent service, as well as compassionate care. I always strive to provide you the same high quality of orthopedic care that I would offer to a member of my family.
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.

I had my first visit with Dr. Schwartz yesterday. I was pleased to learn that all the other great reviews were certainly on point. This is the kind of doctor everyone hopes for. He is kind, gentle, caring, empathetic, listens to what the patient has to say, and doesn’t come into the room with pre-formed opinions. Mine is a very complex case, and I was very pleased he acknowledged that and felt he may not be able to help me. He wanted to start slowly and give me two cortisone injections, with a recheck in six weeks, just to see if it would help with the pain. I decided it would be worth a try. At my next appointment I will probably be getting a referral to a neurosurgeon, but at least I had the pleasure of doctoring with him for a bit! I would definitely recommend him to anyone.Patient Submitted Review

I was referred to Dr. Schwartz by my Chiropractor and by my regular doctor for a condition to both my hands that was suspected to be raynauds syndrome. Dr. Schwartz was very personable and thorough. He was extremely compassionate and concerned about my issue. After his examination and after he answered a few questions my wife and I had he referred me to two different specialists for additional testing as he suspected my condition was not raynauds and wanted the testing to either eliminate raynauds or confirm the diagnosis. He is an amazing doctor and I would recommend him to anyone.Patient Submitted Review

I love Dr. Schwartz and his team. They have helped me with several issues in my wrist and elbow. He is always friendly and smiles a lot. He likes to break everything down for you to make sure you understand what is happening in your body. Gives you options before doing anything. His injections have both been very tolerable compared to some that I've had over the years. He definitely has an act for it. I always expect them to be more uncomfortable then they are. I would and do recommend him to anyone having hand, wrist or elbow pain.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Schwartz did an excellent job of diagnosing, explaining, and treating my painful and debilitating carpal tunnel condition in my left hand. His steady and confident manner enabled me to pursue surgery which he performed smoothly and effectively. He has great expertise in this process and was warm and re-assuring throughout surgery and thereafter. Healing has progressed very well just as he indicated and I am now pain free and fully functional. He is an excellent resource at Ortho Illinois, and if a future need arises, I will schedule an appointment with him without hesitation.Patient Submitted Review

I have been a patient of Dr. Schwartz for almost a year. If I needed an appointment, it was scheduled promptly. During the appointment, Dr. Schwartz demonstrated his expertise while never talking down to me. He was always professional. During an appointment, I knew I was the center of his attention. And probably most important of all any treatment provided addressed and alleviated my problem.
