Benjamin J. Schwartz, M.D., is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in the surgical and nonsurgical treatment of arthritis of the hip and knee, including total joint replacement and revision. After graduating with high honors from William & Mary, Dr. Schwartz attended the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine in Richmond. Following his medical school training, Dr. Schwartz performed his residency in orthopedic surgery at Boston Medical Center where his research involving the treatment of hip fractures in the elderly and athletic activity after total joint replacement earned him the Lahey Clinic Resident Research Award during his chief resident year. After completing his residency, Dr. Schwartz performed a fellowship at the prestigious Anderson Orthopaedic Clinic in Alexandria, VA. Dr. Schwartz trained under pioneers of modern hip and knee replacement including Dr. Charles Engh, M.D., a world-renowned surgeon who pioneered the use of cementless implants in total hip arthroplasty, and Gerard Engh, M.D., one of the world’s foremost experts in partial knee replacement. Dr. Schwartz obtained his certification from the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) in 2010 and is a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) as well as both the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS) and International Congress of Joint Replacement (ICJR). Dr. Schwartz’s focus is on cutting-edge advancements in hip and knee replacement surgery, including rapid recovery protocols for faster return to activity, multimodal pain management to reduce the need for postoperative pain medication, and robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement (MAKOplasty). He is the only surgeon on the North Shore (and one of only a handful of surgeons nationally) trained in the muscle-sparing Direct Superior Approach (DSA) to total hip replacement.
