My right hip started bothering me in May. Being 67, I assumed it was just another old age malady…read more However, it got worse. I made an appointment to see Dr.Hall. I cannot have MRIs because of my pacemaker so an ex ray had to suffice. After an examination, it was determined a hip replacement was required. Covid has not made scheduling surgery a simple task so an appointment was made for August 8. The pain became unbearable so I begged to move it up. Denise, the Dr's right hand woman jumped thru hoops to move the surgery to July 27. On July 22, my old appendix decided it was time to go so instead getting a new hip, I lost an organ! This delayed the replacement until 9/9. I cannot say enough about Dr. Hall and his staff. Not only did he do a splendid job on my hip, he relieved gout in my foot and elbow, shoulder pain and recently knee pain. He is kind, straightforward, dedicated and an all around awesome man. 2020 has been a pretty crazy year for all of us. If you're in pain and need excellent care, Dr. Hall and his wonderful staff will provide the best possible. I've never spent more than 10 minutes waiting which is almost unheard of in today's world.

My wife was referred to NW Sports Med I.E. Ortho Illinois after breaking her wrist at 3am on…read moreSaturday morning. We were directed by the ER to have her seen by an orthopedic surgeon within 2 days. We call the following morning and were informed by the answering service that no one would be taking info for appointments until Tuesday morning due to the holiday weekend. Giving them the benefit of the doubt called back at 8:35am on Tuesday morning got stayed on hold (opted not to wait for a call back) approx 40 min and finally spoke to receptionist who told us that she would be contacting Dr. Holtkamp's office and that someone would call us back in the afternoon. Again we gave them the benefit of the doubt, and since no one had called back we tried again just after noon Wednesday this time we went ahead and stayed put in for a call back the indication was 40 min., however the phone did not ring for over 2hr 45min and sadly my wife as not able to answer in time. They left a message that put us back in the cycle. I called back and this time I waited until someone picked up her name was Rebecca, she promised that she would follow up herself and call back the next morning. As of 12:07 we have now been on hold for another 1 hour waiting for someone to pick up. Epic disregard for patient care. My wife has been without pain medication since the injury since the medicine that she was given caused her to itch, the hand on the arm that the fracture is in continues to swell. Can't speak for the doctors but Ortho Illinois scheduling is complete garbage absolutely the worst communications, follow up that i have encountered in any business in my life. I would not take a sick rat to this group.

My 29 year old sister died under the care of these people. If you value the health of your loved…read moreones after a broken bone, you should consider another doctor. My sister had a broken leg, and she started having pain in her leg - a CLEAR sign of deep vein thrombosis. She went in to see Dr. Robert F Hall and told him the pain and he waved it off as "part of her cold" (I know because she told me personally Dr. Hall said not worry about it). Several days later, she died of a blood clot, something that could've been easily prevented had Dr. Hall paid attention. And not only that, but their only reaction to the situation was to call and try to deny responsibility by denying my sister ever told him about the pain (false, she told us in person Dr. Hall said "not to worry about it"). My sister left behind a 6 month old child that is now growing up without a mother, and her husband. They will never get to be a complete family because of Dr. Hall's negligence. My sister is dead because Dr. Hall couldn't be bothered to pay attention to an obvious symptom of deep vein thrombosis and this practice's only reaction was to categorically deny any responsibility. He also has a previous medical citation against him for operating on the wrong ankle of one of his patients (Iowa Board of Medicine File No. 02-14-0211). I believe Dr. Robert F Hall should retire from medicine before he hurts anyone else.
