  4. This is a wonderful facility, from the PT department to the Surgical Center. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and will go the extra mile for patients. In my mind there is no choice, if a needed procedure can be done here, it is where I will go, and it is the only place I will go for PT.

  10. Outstanding service. I was treated extremely well. A couple of times I arrived early, because I left early due to weather. I was taken in well before my appointment. Anything I have needed their response was prompt. From the front desk sign in to the doctor, was treated like roalty.

  11. Very poor service. The orthopedic Surgeons don’t know how to tell a patient the truth and diagnosis them correctly . The Surgeons that I had to see were never truthful to me. And they never came straight forward to me and to …

  12. Doctor Kelly John is awesome, she is very passionate about foot care. She makes you very comfortable, great watching her working with PA’s. She is the only doctor that we will use for our families foot care!

  14. Dr. Baer is the consumate professional. Clearly an expert in his specialty. His demeanor is friendly, engaging, caring , and up to date with respect to the latest procedures and information relative to my problem. Would recommend him to anyone with a hand or forearm related problem.

  15. Fantastic staff! Excellent bedside manner! Great with kids and adults. Surgeons and PT second to none. I only go elsewhere under duress. I literally can not say one bad thing about Orthoillinois.

  16. Dr Schwartz is very thorough and takes time to explain injury and treatment to parents and child. This is our second experience with Orthoillinois and the whole team is kind, quick and practicing Covid safety measures.

  17. Took the time to listen to my concerns and didn’t jump straight to surgery, we figured out the least invasive way to rule out the issue at hand! I was given options and understood everything I needed to know to make San informed decision on hours to progress with my care!

  19. I’ve been seeing Dr Kelly John for a few years now. I have recently moved from Rockford to New Lenox, which is about 110 miles away. I have total trust in her an it’s hard for me to change. She’s always been upfront and honest with me. I recommend her highly.

  33. From the time you walk in the facility, you are greeted and directed. It’s a pleasant start to a very favorable office visit. All departments seen we’re pleasant and professional. I never felt I was bothering anyone or being rushed.

  34. Dr. Bush has done two foot surgeries for me, the most recent in 2005. An office visit with Dr. Bush is like taking a two week vacation — you leave refreshed, he is such a pleasant human being. And, of course, he knows feet!! He is my favorite doctor, as rarely as I go to see him.

  35. Dr. Earhart is helpful and informative with my progress and how to move forward in a safe way. His explanations of xrays and reasons for his recommendations are thorough and sensible. He is caring , kind and encouraging. Mike Karg also stopped in to check on my progress. Both have been instrumental in my recovery.

  37. Edric Schwartz is a great doctor and I highly recommend seeing him. After 3 years of dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome, I finally did something about it.

  38. I was very impressed with Dr. Zussman. He was personable and friendly. He answered all my questions and took the time to do so without making you feel like he didn’t care. I will highly recommend him to anyone who needs his services.

  39. I saw Dr. Bear’s PA. It was awful. I felt like cattle being loaded for slaughter. PA didn’t identify all the growth until I asked him if he wanted to know where the others were. Had to wait to schedule MRI. Three ladies behind counter. …
