I came here after I injured myself down at our Florida home. It was my hip that was acting up and I…read morewas trying to avoid surgery. My doctor, Dr. Tauchen, recommended their therapy at the same location. I went here and I remembered the therapist, as she remembered me. My treatment started with dry needling and this procedure really helped with my pain. This was just the start as an hour more of therapy got me more mobile. I have seen progress in the few visits and continued workouts at home. My therapist, Michelle, is one of the best therapists I have ever used. She has given me hope to make my fall fishing tournament in Destin, Florida. I always make jerky for these trips and can drop off some of the jerky for my therapist and doctor.

Apparently the facility started a new database today and changed their name. They are now called…read moreIllinois Bone & Joint Institute so information had to be re-entered. Not a big deal and not even time consuming. The disappointing issue was after 3 years of returned visits to Dr. Miller, the only advise he had for me was "let's put a different bandage on it (literally and figuratively) and watch it" and purchase a wider shoe." Seriously? My toe is sending shooting pain across my foot and up my ankle. Apparently speaking louder to me will make me believe the pain in the toe is not the issue. Very unproductive visit, so after 3 years of co-pays I am seeking a 2nd opinion elsewhere.

I didn't have a great experience here. Dr. Mody seems like a nice guy but I'm not sure after doing…read morea post mortem on the experience that it was good. I came in for a moving injury on my shoulder a while back. He did an x-ray at his location and said that it didn't seem like there was a tear, maybe just less cushion between my joints. He decided to schedule MRI as "an abundance of caution". However, He didn't recommend a basic MRI, he recommended an arthrogram which in hind sight, seemed unnecessary. He recommended a local hospital as is preferred partner, and it was awful. The MRI cost me $700 and took about three hours versus a outpatient Quest Diagnostic type location that should've been 100 bucks and an hour. I never received the MRI results from the hospital. I recently received a bill from Dr. Mody's office for another $200 for my initial visit. I have yet to return to even go through the MRI results, partially because I don't have them (thanks Advent La Grange for wasting more time I don't have) and partially because this seems like a bill at all costs type practice. I refuse to go back if it's going to cost me $200 when any other specialist under our health plan is a $50 copay. Note- I gave them my insurance upfront so this shouldn't be a $200 + $600 MRI for a sore arm.

I went to Dr Mather years ago because I had 2 prior disc replacements for L4-L5 that didn't feel…read moreright. He did tests, and set me up for surgery. I had a third L4-L5 disc replacement, and then told me that he was leaving for 5 days with his family, and left a PA in charge. I told her every day for 5 days in the hospital that I had severe pain, different from prior surgeries, from my left hip to knee to the inside of my left lower leg. She rolled her eyes each time and told me to push the button (for pain meds.) When Dr Mather returned and saw I hadn't eaten or slept, and was in such severe pain, he did a CT scan and at the end of his day, at 10:30 pm, he took me back to surgery. After recovery, he said, "I removed a cherry pit sized piece of disc material that I inadvertently left behind." He said it could be 2-3 months before the very irritated L4 root nerve would calm down. He kept raising my dose of pain meds as I went to follow up appointments. After 4 months, he switched me to Oxycontin because he couldn't raise the Norco dose any higher due to too much acetaminophen. He said, "In some cases like yours, the root nerve never recovers, and I'm afraid that's what happened here." I became disabled for life, I lost my beloved nursing job, and could barely do anything that I previously loved to do. He referred me to a pain clinic. I went back periodically for Dr Mather to sign for a disabled car plaquard, and the last time, he yelled at me, "I will not sign this! I did no such thing! You are no longer my patient! SECURITY! Escort this person out of my office!!" Be very careful if anything goes wrong! The only reason I didn't bring suit is I lost my 22 year old son 2 months after surgery; 2 months before being told I was disabled for life. Otherwise, it would have been an easy win. People make mistakes, but when he kicked me out of his office, and denied it all happened, that made me sick. I continue to have complications now, years later. If I could give ZERO STARS, I would.

Dr Scott Fonda is AMAZING. He's conservative- trying to help me avoid surgery on my knee. Helping…read moremy fiance avoid neck surgery. Helped a friend with running performance. Stretching, exercises, bodywork, adjustments- all great. No nonsense, kind - very good with pro athletes etc but he treats regular middle aged women with as much respect as superstars. If you want a "woo woo chiropractor" who thinks he can cure sleep disorders with chiropractic medicine, don't go to Dr. Fonda. If you want a brilliant doc who can make a huge difference in limited number of visits when you need him (my injuries flare up every so often) you should try him. I drive an hour from Chicago just to see him: now at an office in Willowbrook - he's that good. Takes blue cross (at least my PPO).

Dr. Scott Fonda has been my chiropractor for 10 years now and I can't say enough good things about…read morehim. I first started seeing him when he was at Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago in 2005. VERY IMPORTANT: Don't let the name "Sports Medicine Solutions" intimidate you if you're not an athlete. I've never been an athlete nor do I play sports, but it doesn't make any difference. He knows his stuff, as I discuss below, whether you're into sports or not. He has many patients who fall into the same category that I do. How good is he? So good that I'll sometimes spend 1 1/2 hours driving in I-294 Tristate rush hour afternoon traffic from Evanston to Westmont to see him. After Dr. Fonda left RIC and before he moved to his current location in Westmont in 2010, I couldn't get a hold of him. I was in a lot of pain so I went to see two other chiropractors - first one in Evanston and then one in Wilmette. Both had come highly recommended, but my back pain never got any better. After several months with no pain relief, luckily I "found" Dr. Fonda in Westmont. I made an appointment for ASAP, and literally after 2 visits, my back pain went completely away. There's an expression: "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." The other chiropractors I went to certainly knew how to "make adjustments" but I don't think they knew much beyond that. That method works very well for many people but not for me. I explained to both of them the techniques that had worked for me in the past with Dr. Fonda, but neither of them really understood what I was even saying. Why is Dr. Fonda so good? He uses a variety of techniques to treat patients and his skill set goes far beyond just making adjustments. He doesn't have a one treatment fits all approach - he borrows from a number of different methods. He starts off each session asking me a lot of questions and he moves me around in different ways so that he can determine exactly what parts he needs to work on. Most of my back and hip problems are muscular in nature and he spends most of his time working to get my muscles to relax, which is more involved than it sounds. Often he'll think of a new stretch right on the spot. Also, when he does make an adjustment, I hardly feel anything. I can't say the same about some other chiropractors. Aside from his expertise, he's also genuinely a very nice guy - informal and friendly, not stuffy. You will enjoy your experience. The office staff is also very friendly. Again, how good is Dr. Fonda? So good that while I've been reading Yelp reviews for years, I've never taken the time to write one until now.
