About
Dr. Jeffrey P. Schwartz is a nationally recognized cardiothoracic surgeon specializing in advanced heart and lung care at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood. He serves as Surgical Director of the Lung Transplant Program and brings decades of experience helping patients with some of the most challenging conditions of the heart and chest.
Patients turn to Dr. Schwartz for procedures such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), heart valve repair and replacement, aortic aneurysm surgery, and complex lung operations. He also cares for patients with end-stage heart or lung disease who need transplants or mechanical circulatory support devices. His expertise in these highly specialized surgeries offers hope to patients who may have been told they have few options.
Known for his compassionate bedside manner, Dr. Schwartz ensures his patients and families understand their diagnosis, treatment options, and recovery process. He partners with a multidisciplinary team—including cardiologists, pulmonologists, and transplant specialists—to provide the safest and most effective care.
By offering minimally invasive and robotic surgical options, Dr. Schwartz helps patients recover faster with less pain and fewer complications. Local patients benefit from Loyola’s reputation as a leader in heart and lung surgery, right here in Chicago’s western suburbs.
If you or a loved one is facing heart or lung disease, or has been referred for transplant evaluation, Dr. Schwartz is ready to provide second opinions and advanced treatment. Schedule an appointment to learn how his expertise can help restore your health and quality of life.
