Dr. Frederic T. Schwartz received his Medical Degree from The George Washington University School of Medicine. Following a medical internship at The George Washington University Medical Center, he began a Neurological Surgery Residency there, launching a most successful surgical career.

Dr. Schwartz was soon commissioned a Major in the U.S. Army Medical Corps. And, though a young officer, he would shortly be named Chief of Neurosurgery at the Dwight David Eisenhower Army Medical Center in Fort Gordon, Georgia and, eventually, be honored with the Army Commendation Medal for Outstanding Meritorious Service as a Neurosurgeon.

After his service in the military, Dr. Schwartz turned his focus to teaching, and to private practice. Dr. Schwartz also functions as a international consultant in neurosurgery. He is certified by the American Board of Neurological Surgery, and has since gone on to perform more than 4,000 Neurosurgical Operations.

Dr. Schwartz lives in Washington, D.C. His wife is a psychologist, and they have three grown children. His personal interests include art, lacrosse (as a spectator, and not a player), and classical music. He also enjoys skiing with his family, as well as jogging.

His years of surgical experience put his patients in a position to obtain a superior result.
