Dr. Schwartz began his career as an optometrist where he received his first degree from UC Berkeley. At that time his class standing allowed him to take and pass a special Masters qualifying examination and in addition complete his work for the OD degree. He felt that the provision of Eyecare would be different in the future and felt large clinical practices would be the way care would be offered, so he then obtained an MPA in Health Services from USC. He practiced optometry for six years but wanted to expand his options for patient care. He applied to Medical School, but at that time age restrictions in the US forced him to attend medical school in Mexico. Dr. Schwartz returned and was selected into a competitive program to allow him to finish his clinical rotations at the University of California at Irvine. He did his Ophthalmology residency through the Hollywood Presbyterian program, part of USC Doheny at that time.
