Dr. Dave - 37 years and going strong

July 2025 marked Dr. Dave's 37 year anniversary at Schwartz Pediatrics. He is delighted to be a mentor to his childrren. He recently stepped down as chairman of the Department of Pediatrics at Ascension St. Alexius Medical Center Hoffman Estates (SAMC) after ten years to spend more time with his family.

Dr Dave's favorite part of the week is spending time with his granddaughter. Their adventures include the library, playground, water park, and mall. It is a special but exhausting time which is why he can't wait for nap time (for both of them).



Dr. Dave remains an avid bike rider and constantly promotes bike helmet safety for his patients. Several years ago he joined up with Health Plus Physicians Organization and some local bike shops in a bike helmet safety campaign by awarding “Helmets R Cool” t-shirts to all the participants. You can see those yellow t-shirts all summer long.
