Not only that he was able to find the source of my pain when I thought I was a hypochondriac but he put my mind to rest when he discovered what was wrong with me and causing me debilitating pain through my entire body. The staff politely explained the procedure and along the way toward my procedure had everyone explain to me what was going to occur.They spoke to me and allowed me to take my time in mental preparation . They are probably the kindest,gentleness and loveliest people I have probably had the pleasure of being helped by, if not the best at what they do. I strongly recommend them and I am highly nervous of the medical profession. I was given wonderful and delicate care. Thank you Dr. Cha ,his lovely nurse and everyone on his staff for helping me else for helping me.

Doctor Cha performed the Intracept procedure on my back 2 weeks ago. The recovery from the surgery…read morewas about 2 days. 4 days after the procedure I was able to determine my pain level was lower than prior to the procedure. It has now been 2 weeks and my pain level is about 50% of the level prior to the procedure. Dr Cha indicated I should see additional relief over the next 6 months. Given the severity level of back pain I had experienced for the past 30 years I am very pleased with the results so far. The Doctor and his team were very professional, answered all of my questions, and made me comfortable and confident prior to the procedure. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Cha to anyone experiencing pain.

I had an outstanding experience at this orthopedic clinic. From the moment I walked in, I felt…read moregenuinely cared for and welcomed by the entire team. What really sets this place apart is not just the quality of care, but the energy and personality of the staff, they strike a perfect balance between professionalism and making each visit enjoyable. I was also lucky enough to experience the fun, playful side of the team. From their creative dry erase board polls to their fully committed construction-themed Halloween setup which, in my opinion, absolutely mogged the other offices (not even close) they created an atmosphere that made coming in something to look forward to. The occasional "jam session" moments just added to the positive, upbeat vibe. Especially when Tate McRae was cranked up to volume 12, I felt unstoppable! As for the care itself, Emma, Christine, and Jose were exceptional. They truly listened to my concerns about my lower back pain and guided me through every step with clarity and expertise. Their knowledge and attention to detail made my decision to come here feel like a no-brainer. The facility is clean, well-organized, and equipped with everything needed for effective treatment. I especially want to highlight the dry needling, it was a complete game changer. I only wish I had started it sooner, as it provided significantly more relief than stretching or traditional PT alone. Within a short time, I noticed a major improvement in both my pain and mobility. Overall, the care is top-notch, the staff is incredibly professional (while still keeping things fun), and I can't recommend this place enough.

My partner nearly lost her lower left leg due to the orthopedic surgeon's failure to diagnose and…read morecontrol a surgical site infection that she contracted in this hospital's surgical suite during an Achilles tendon repair. The infectious disease control unit at this hospital was also incompetent in managing the infection that spread to the entire leg below the knee, resulting in the loss of 80% of the tendon. After two addditional emergency surgeries conducted at Rush Medical Center, and 6 months of rehab, they saved her leg from amputation. An absolute horror story! Before you schedule medical care at any hospital in Illinois, or elsewhere in the US, you must look at the LEAPFROG Hospital Safety ratings for hospital performance on infection control. You can find all 69 hospitals in the Chicago area rated, except for Endeavor Skokie Hospital as they refused to be rated. This is likely due to the fact that the hospital would receive a failing grade of D or F for inadequate infection control.

I would like to recommend the Athletico Physical Therapy clinic in Highland Park, for providing…read moreexcellent rehabilitative care. In December of 2023 I had a left shoulder joint replacement surgery; the joint was so worn out that there was 'bone on bone' induced pain. After that procedure, I went to Athletico for rehabilitation of the arm. I had had the same surgery on my right shoulder two years ago, in a different state, followed by treatment at a different rehabilitation company. There is no question that Athletico was superior to my previous experience. The personnel at Athletico are professional, knowledgeable, and personable. Their treatments were much more effective, than that of my previous therapists, in helping me regain my 'range of motion.' They provided a greater variety of exercises, many of which I can now continue at home. At the follow-up appointments, my surgeon was very impressed with the degree and the speed of improvement. I would like to specifically praise the physical therapist, Colton E., with whom I had the most sessions. Colton is very good at enabling me to do my best, without making it seem too aversive. He was very responsive to my condition and provided additional exercises as I improved. Before I completed my treatment, he even gave me some exercises to help with other pain conditions I have, and to improve my balance. And, it was always a pleasure to talk to him as I went through my exercises. In addition to my personal therapeutic experience, I was pleased with the ease of scheduling with the front desk, and, even the availability of parking. In my opinion, Athletico is an exceptional company, and I highly recommend it for post - surgical rehabilitation. Claire A.

My doctor said that I needed to see an Orthopaedic Surgeon because of pain in my knee (I am a very…read moreathletic guy and the pain was getting in the way of my working out) and gave me a list of orthopedics... When I asked my doctor; "Who would you send your brother, father or wife to?," He said; "Bradley Dunlap at Evanston Hospital." Just a FYI, Dr Dunlap has relocated his main office to the new Ambulatory Building at Skokie Hospital. One more thing, I had previously had both my left and right knee worked on by other surgeons earlier in my life, so I have a benchmark and neither of these surgeons were worthy of a review, but Dr. Bradley Dunlap is much different both demeanor wise and option wise.... Long story short, after doing an MRI on my knee, Dr Dunlap informed me that, should I opt for surgery,based on my MRI, I would need a knee replacement... And, instead of "scheduling the surgery" Dr Dunlap gave me the option of a cortisone shot stating that it might relieve the pain temporarily or for an extended period of time, but it would be worth the try to put off surgery... As it turned out, the cortisone worked...on the left knee... Several years later, my right knee acted up just before my skiing vacation and I was back in Dr Dunlap's office... Dr Dunlap informed me that it was probably a meniscal tear which would require surgery... Again, long story short, rather than waste time, money and lose my skiing vacation, Dr. Dunlap offered me a cortisone shot in the right knee and told me that it would probably need surgery, sooner than later, and informed me that this was the last cortisone shot I could get in the right knee.... So, of course, I took the shot and had a fabulous skiing vacation... Well, as you can guess, I procrastinated a year till this last November (2013); and the pain came back, but this time; severe! When I told the doctor I had another skiing vacation planned, he agreed to give me one more cortisone shot with an agreement that I would get an MRI quickly to determine the issue...He advised me to limit my exercising to reduce my swelling before the ski outing and even provided some pain relief medication to tide me over... I wound up NOT missing my skiing vacation and had limited pain thereafter... I just recently had the knee surgery and that is why I am highly recommending Dr. Bradley Dunlap! If you read my other reviews, you would know that I only rate the best, I have no time to review losers or mediocre, that is why I have a limited amount of reviews posted on Yelp So, as I do in my other reviews, I highly recommend Dr Dunlap (as compared to two previous surgeon); and here's why: -I have never waited more than 10 minutes in the Skokie location waiting room for my appointments, most of the time, less than 5 minutes, even if I show up early! -After the MRI, when I asked the doctor why the pain occurs, he went out of the way to take out a knee model and show me exactly where the tear was and demonstrated the mechanics of how the pain was occurring which no surgeon ever took the time out to do in my two previous procedures! -I was VERY WELL INFORMED BEFORE SURGERY AS TO WHAT TO EXPECT and was much better prepared for pre and post operation preparation and follow-through! -Better yet, when I forgot half of what I was told the day before surgery, Dr. Dunlap's nurse, Sylvia, returned my call quickly, answered all my questions and treated me with the utmost of respect! -Check-in and recovery at the hospital was seamless! -7 days, post procedure, doctor showed me very clear images of my knee surgery showing me the initial damage, and then several stages of the tear removal, followed by the final result. Dr Dunlap also took the time to show me images of the other side of the same knee to reassure me that the health of the knee on that side was impressively pristine! I highly recommend you consider Dr Bradley Dunlap, I would recommend him to a close friend or relative; he is a superior doctor with excellent soft skills and his staff is exemplary!

10+ amazing stars!!!…read more After a several-month journey, we've officially graduated from Dr. Roberts' care team. I couldn't be more grateful for everyone that nurtured and cared for my son over the past several months. We made the best choice choosing this top notch doctor. From the first day's treatment to the last (today), the bedside manner of every single person we worked with was gentle and caring, and we went through some pretty painful visits. From a fractured knee cap to a full leg cast, to different leg braces, to physical therapy (not through Dr. Roberts), we survived all of it! My son is very sensitive to pain, and I never thought he could handle it...but he did...like a champ! And, I have Dr. Roberts to thank. I pride this office on not making us wait longer than 20 minutes in the waiting area...ever. Some visits we only waited for 5 minutes! Once we made it into the exam room, we were always tended to right away by the care team. The wait for Dr. Roberts was never very long, and when he did come in to treat my son, he was gentle and kind...but direct. Exactly the right approach. Easy peasy parking at the Skokie location. The only downside is scheduling. There are no after-school or weekend appointments, so we did have to pull our son out of school a couple of times. Side note: It was always so cool to see the world's largest cast in the lobby each time...fun times :-)

He and his nurse (Gayle), are both efficient, thorough, honest, straightforward, professional, knowledgeable, and empathetic. From the first meeting with him regarding the severity of the injury and what needs to be done in order to "fix" the damage...I felt comfortable and knew that my son is going to be in good hands. Dr. Levitz performed a 3-hour surgical procedure on my son at the Ravine Way Surgery Center in August 2018. This is an outpatient surgical center for orthopedic surgeons seeing patients from NorthShore University Health System and Illinois Bone & Joint Institute. My son still goes to Physical and Occupational Therapy sessions, and he is healing slowly but surely. He also meets with Dr. Levitz every couple of weeks to make sure that his healing is right on track. He has been consistent with communicating with me and my son on his progress and continuous care plan. Dr. Levitz, you are awesome. My son and I are thankful for you.
