Overview

As a surgeon that specializes in the vascular system, which is the body's network of blood vessels, I appreciate that there are many different ways to significantly help people. I truly believe making a connection with a person is one of the most important aspects in patient care. I don’t tell my patients what decision to make about their health. It's my job to understand the priorities in their life and then give them information and guidance to make their own decision. In doing so, a stroke can be prevented by repairing arteries to the brain. Fixing an aneurysm, which is caused by a weakness in the wall of an artery, can save someone from hemorrhaging to death, and treating the arteries to the legs can prevent an amputation or help reduce some causes of severe leg pain.

I am a fellowship-trained, board-certified orthopaedic surgeon specializing in hip and knee replacement and reconstruction. My practice includes nonsurgical and surgical care for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (and other autoimmune arthritis), and avascular necrosis. I offer partial and total joint replacement, using minimally invasive techniques and cutting-edge methods such as robotic and computer navigation, 3D anatomical modeling, direct anterior total hip arthroplasty, and rapid postoperative recovery protocols with an option for outpatient surgery. My comprehensive approach includes medications, injections, physical therapy protocols, and other interventions aimed at avoiding surgery. I also evaluate and perform revision arthroplasty for failed joint replacements and specialized reconstructions for less common conditions. Dr. Schwartz is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Compartment Syndrome. His top areas of expertise are Infectious Arthritis, Septic Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Hip Replacement, and Knee Replacement.

I perform all types of vascular surgery from taking care of varicose veins to fixing aneurysms and everything in between. One of the things I love about my field is that I get to treat the whole patient. Once they come see me, they become my patient forever; it’s critical to develop a long-term relationship with them. My job is to not only treat whatever issues they came to see me about, but also to learn about what led to their problems. It’s important to have discussions on their risk factors so they can improve their day-to-day life and reduce the chance of needing additional procedures. When I meet with patients, I think it’s important to present them with all the options available and find out what matches their personal goals. Outside of work, I enjoy sailing, scuba diving and taking my two dogs hiking. Dr. Mureebe is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Compartment Syndrome. Her top areas of expertise are Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA), Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm, Peripheral Artery Disease, Pancreaticoduodenectomy, and Thrombectomy.
