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.

Dr. Goldstein was patient and very thorough. There were many complications due to my fiancé illness.

When we left the massage parlor we had to get to the other side of a busy highway by going up the stairs, crossing an overhead walkway & down the stairs on the other side of the road. When I took the first step down my left knee popped & pain shot through my leg (so much for an awesome massage). Anyway my knee has been in an up and down cycle. Lately it has been bothering me & creating enough pain to want to go see an orthopedic doctor. I called up Illinois Bone & Joint Institute (IBJI) After talking to my nephew (who use to work for IBJI in Gurnee I called IBJI @ 9am. Amazing I had an appointment @ 10am. This IBJI is located @ 9000 Waukegan Road where ABT use to be located. I scheduled an appointment w/Dr Raab an orthopedic surgeon. Kelly his Nurse Practitioner came in and assessed the situation. They took me in to get an X-ray of my knee & brought me back to the exam room. After waiting for a while Dr Rabb came in examined my leg. After examining my leg he noticed swelling on the knee but and told me there was liquid on my knee joint. He then proceeded to extract the liquid & give me a shot of cortisone which greatly reduced the swelling & pain. I was told to get a knee compression sock which really helps to further stabilize my knee. Both Dr Raab & Kelly were very friendly & personable making the visit more enjoyable. The best part is Dr Raab didn't feel that I needed to have knee surgery yet.

I went to Dr. Gerber for bunion issues on both of my feet causing a lot of pain after reading…read morenumerous positive reviews about him. After a few rounds of cortisone shots and some inserts for my shoes the pain was only getting worse. After lengthy discusssions regarding surgery, a bunionectomy, he told me that the combination of my bunions and my second toe being longer then my first toe (the metatarsal bone) that the surgery technique he would use, which he said he invented, would solve pain/issues. He was going to cut the metatarsal bone on my second toe and remove my bunion. My first follow up appointment, 1 week after surgery, he was shocked that I was still feeling any pain. I have a very high threshold of pain and this was only 1 week after he cut into 2 of my toes! At another follow up appointment when I was out of the boot & in regular shoes, I told him how both of my toes (big and 2nd) were not touching the floor and were sticking up. He said, "they will never go down again." I obviously was shocked as this was NEVER told to me as a possible or probable result of having the surgery. Long story short, my foot is still in pain a year and a half after the surgery, and even more pain then I experienced originally because I am walking on the outside of my foot because my 2 toes do not touch the floor any longer. There is constant swelling on the top of my foot and swelling and pain on the under side of my foot. Also, my big toe is still curved in and looks as though there is still a bunion issue. I am including a picture of my now mutilated foot. I am so thankful that I never had him operate on my second foot! My foot looks deformed at this point and elicits gasps from people. Not exactly what I had hoped for.
