EPHC Welcomes New General Surgeon

April 1, 2011

Eastern Plumas Health Care is pleased to announce our new general surgeon, Arthur Schwartz, M.D. Every two weeks, Dr. Schwartz is in Portola to offer office hours one day and perform surgery the next. We know our patients will appreciate the opportunity to have their general surgery needs met locally, where the support of family and friends help so much. Call (530) 832-6600 to schedule an appointment.

Dr. Schwartz comes to us from Dominican Santa Cruz Hospital in Santa Cruz, CA, where he was Chief of Surgery. He worked at Aspen Valley Hospital from 1978 – 1992, serving as President of the Medical Staff and, later, as Chief of Surgery there. He received his medical degree from New York University School of Medicine in 1969. Dr. Schwartz said he is very happy to be here, as he prefers “the mountains to the surf.”
