My wife, a 51 year old woman, has been suffering chronic shoulder pain for the past 18 months. It started in her left shoulder and is now in her right shoulder. The pain is accompanied by muscle spasms and, at times, light headedness. We have been battling lupus for much longer and have made changes in meal planning and prep. I am not certain if the two are related but really want to help her find treatment to relieve her chronic pain. We are covered by Premera and wanted to see if you accept this insurance? Thank you.

Hello, Dr. Schwartz treated me for a frozen shoulder beginning 1/12/2017 through 4/11/2017 at the UW Sports Medicine Clinic- Ballard location. Because of health complications (Titanium Mitral Valve and Warfarin) he wrote me a prescription for medical marijuana. The CBD salve I found worked miracles, and my left shoulder fully recovered. Fast forward to 4/2020: My right shoulder is freezing up and my prescription expired years ago. I can’t get comfortable or sleep. Help! I need a new medical marijuana prescription. Please advise as soon as possible. Thank you so much, Heidi S. Moritz Mobile 206-819-8614 (more…)

Hello Dr. Scwartz, I am contacting you in regards to my chronic shoulder injury in hopes of making sense of it. History: A decade ago i fell pretty bad on my back with both elbows contacting the ground first during Karate. No immediate discomfort was present. a couple weeks later my (left) arm completely died until I held it ( dead arm lasted no more than 5 seconds). I was misdiagnosed for a fractured wrist. Recently i began to correct my posture but my shoulder gave me pain so I went to my doctor who simply diagnosed me for Scapular dyskinesia. Ultrasound imaging found an augmented sub acromial bursa. However, there are things i cannot explain. Such as my inclined clavicle, prominent humorous head bulge, biceps tendon irritation, numb/cold hand (pinched nerve?). I don't know if this is helpful but i hope to get a response from you. Kind regards, Adam, H (more…)

I’ve had very positive experiences with my treatment and the staff. I’ve been really happy with the results of my shoulder surgery (rotator cuff repair) and am more than happy to make referrals of my friends to see Dr. Schwartz and Joy in clinic! If I had to do it all over again, I no doubt would return to see Dr. Schwartz at The Sports Medicine Clinic.

I suffered from multiple shoulder dislocations, and was treated surgically by Dr. Dan Schwartz and was impressed by his thoroughness from the start. He listened very well, and I felt at ease with him from the start. He explained all of the surgical options, and we proceeded with the right option that was right for me. Since surgery, I have been so happy and have strongly recommended him to anyone that will listen! Thanks Dr. Schwartz!

Thank you so much Dr. Daniel Schwartz for your great work! As a Physical Therapist I did a lot of research to find a shoulder surgeon highly qualified to carry out my Mother's reverse shoulder replacement. I appreciated your taking the time to explain the procedure to my parents, and the surgery turned out better than my mom ever expected. Your staff was kind, professional, and competent. It was well worth the drive from Eastern Washington and I will recommend you to all my patients in need of a shoulder surgery.

This is the first online comment that I have ever left for a person, product or service, however I was so impressed by Dr. Schwartz as a human being and a surgeon that I felt compelled to share my story. I had a bone chip in my elbow that intermittently (depending where it floated) rendered my elbow immobile. Despite a fairly lengthy procedure, within two days I had minimal swelling and near full mobility. I should note that I was the last patient of the week on Friday afternoon (most medical advisers would recommend against this time slot), and Dr. Schwartz"s previous operation had been particularly challenging. Yet he was kind, caring, and focused in our pre-operative meeting and he performed flawlessly. I might also note that I'm a guy who tries to avoid hospitals and doctors whenever possible, in fact I didn't even go to my primary care doctor until months after the ski accident that caused my injury. I would give kudos to Dr. Schwartz and special mention of his nurse, Joy, during my exams and surgery for allaying my fears and phobias and making the whole episode as good as one could ever expect. -Gary P Ballard

I have both shoulders in pain with restricted movement. (more…)

Hello. I'd like to make an appt with Dr. Schwartz as I am having a very bad time with my shoulder. Here is the report from a Dr. in Wenatchee. I am looking for a second opinion and a surgeon if necessary. Thank you so much for your time considering this. Contralateral Shoulder and Upper Extremity Examination of the contralateral shoulder demonstrates active and passive range of motion without difficulty which is unimpeded. There is no localized pain with palpation. Strength is intact. Skin is intact without open wounds, rashes or abrasions. Imaging X-rays ordered and performed today were reviewed by me with patient revealed no evidence of acute fracture or dislocation. There is a hooked acromion present with significant anterior spurring. There are mild degenerative changes of the AC joint. There are minimal degenerative arthritic changes noted of the glenohumeral joint. There are some mild degenerative changes of the greater tuberosity consistent with rotator cuff disease. The glenohumeral joint is concentrically reduced. Normal bone mineralization is appreciated. MRI performed 06/06/2020 demonstrates hooked acromion with anterior spurring, generalized rotator cuff tendinopathy with high grade versus full thickness but far posterior infraspinatus tear, subscapularis tendinopathy but no significant tearing and the supraspinatus appears without significant tearing, long head biceps tendinopathy, possible SLAP tear. Assessment: 1. Nontraumatic incomplete tear of left rotator cuff 2. Rotator cuff syndrome of left shoulder 3. Superior glenoid labrum lesion of left shoulder, initial encounter 61 y.o. female with partial thickness possibly full-thickness posterior infraspinatus tear with significant impingement syndrome and likely SLAP tear with long head biceps tenosynovitis. She also has concomitant cervical spine pathology which is worsened per her neurologist and she is having ongoing work-up. This is potentially confounding and may cause a significant proportion of her shoulder problem as well. Body mass index is 32.23 kg/m². (more…)

Hello I have hurt my left shoulder and would like to get in as soon as posible (more…)

Was referred by a past patient of yours. Would like to see how quickly I could get in for a Grade 3 AC tear. (more…)

Just a note to say thank you for the thorough and well-composed information about rotator cuff and sleep. It was really the best I could find. Much gratitude. (more…)

Dr Phillip Moberg: recommended you to me. I need a right shoulder replacement. Dr. Kevin Smith was my surgeon for my left shoulder, but he has now retired. All my recent images are on file in his office. I need an appointment for an evaluation and would like to schedule a shoulder replacement as soon as feasible. (more…)
