Summary

Dr. Schwarz grew up in Vancouver, Canada. He attended St George's High School where he excelled at academics and sports and began his academic career at the University of British Columbia. While in undergrad, his mother's precipitous death from a brain aneurysm, and his father's long battle with bone cancer spawned his interest in medicine. Initially, he was drawn to oncology but soon discovered his passion for surgery. It was during surgical reconstruction of a child's cleft lip that he refined his dream to plastic surgery. "The surgeon I was watching took such care in delicately repairing this child's lip. This young child's face was restored in front of my very eyes. I knew at that moment that I was going to be a plastic surgeon." After graduating from medical school in London, Ontario, Canada, Dr. Schwarz was accepted to a seven-year residency in general surgery at Detroit Receiving Hospital. While in the program, he completed a Masters Degree in Genetics as well as two years of basic research in wound healing. Dr. Schwarz then moved with his wife and three sons to Durham, North Carolina. He completed three years of specialty training in Cosmetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery at Duke University. His desire to stay and raise his family in the Triangle prompted Dr Schwarz to move to Raleigh and establish his practice in North Raleigh. Dr. Schwarz is a kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and skilled surgeon who holds true to his original ideals of becoming a doctor, as manifested by his gratification in reconstructing defects left from cancer. His forthright manner and meticulous attention to details allows him to deliver outstanding results.
