A good experience considering the situation. Yet another injury for one of my boys, this one to…read morethe ankle. I got an appointment pretty quickly with the Sports Medicine guy, Dr. Gimre. He spent lots of time hearing how the injury occurred, examining my son, taking the xrays, explaining the xrays to me and coming up with a recovery plan. He is a very friendly guy and was patient and answered all my questions. Do you know about growth plates? Well I am quickly becoming an expert. This practice has several locations and several specialists, so you know they have dealt with your problem before. Also the appointment phone line opens at 8 am, which is so much better than waiting until 9. So after 2 major bone injuries in my house, my new motto is to avoid the ER at all costs (not if it's really in bad shape of course). Those bozos can't read an xray to save their life! Growth plate? What's a growth plate? Did we learn about that in school? The orthopedic specialist is the way to go!

I broke both bones in my wrist in late Sept. 2010 and just finished up my treatment today. I…read morecouldn't be more pleased with how I was treated through this process and I couldn't be more happy with the results I have achieved in only 7 weeks. Another reviewer commented on the high cost of healthcare...this is not OAD's fault. Yes, it's expensive, but I feel like they do it right here. I did pay a lot of money for surgery, OT, etc, but I feel like I received the best care and got the most for my money. Unfortunately I think Gerry H is just a bitter person. I had a great experience with Dr. Thomas and a great experience with Linda Picchiottino (the OT specialist). I did feel like it was slightly "assembly line" at time, more so with Dr. Thomas, but you have to keep in mind, these are SPECIALISTS, all they look at, all day, is wrist and hand maladies, they know what they are looking at and they know what to do, why would you want a lot of hemming and hawing? Anyway, I would recommend this place whole-heartedly.

I…read morehad severe, debilitating, life ruining back pain I just wanted solved so bad, but we tried the least invasive strategies first, the injections. They didn't work AT ALL, I told him that and said I'm ready for the surgery. He told me to make an appointment at a later date, and that's when him and his secretary completely ghosted me. They "left multiple notes" for the doctor to get back to me, they "left multiple notes" for his secretary, Wendy, and I never heard anything back from them. I was just left to suffer. So yeah, screw you for that. I will say he was very skillful with his injections. I was very nervous about them, but they went very well. This isn't in his control, but his waiting room was awful to be in. Filled with old people staring at me and whispering to each other about me, "she's too young to be here" "she's too young to have back issues." that's some REALLY dumb shit to say. Young doesn't = healthy... Yall are too fucking old to be that dumb.

I had a progressively worsening situation where I was losing the use of my legs. It was only after…read morean MRI of all three sections of my spine, where the culprit was discovered, a serious herniated disc at T8, T9. The hernia was about 10 mm which is huge relative to the space your spinal cord and Dura need and was pressing directly on the spinal cord. After reviewing the MRIs, I was advised urgent surgery was needed. Since I could see the progression and was living with the scary negative trend with my leg strength, waning, I was eager for the surgery. Dr. Lopez told my wife after the surgery that every aspect of the surgery went better than he had anticipated and that he knew I was better already. I was able to walk out of the hospital same day and was so grateful for a reversal of what could've been a dire situation. Although I still have some lingering neurologic sensations in my legs. This is not unusual as nerves can heal at very different rates, but I can say after five months I am nearly back to normal, my experience with Midwest orthopedics, Dr. Lopez and his staff has been nothing but positive. During the investigation of my spine, it was also duly noted that I will likely need ACDF surgery as well and I have symptoms of severe radiculopathy. I have scheduled surgery with Dr Lopez and have all the confidence that my outcome will be outstanding as it was for my thoracic spine surgery. I included a picture of the surgical site the day after my surgery. A life changing surgery through such a small opening. I did feel like I wanted an opportunity to review my cervical MRI results and get a better understanding of why surgery was indicated and so I made an appointment with Dr. Lopez and had this discussion,-and decided to move forward with the surgery. I found him very helpful and accessible.

He started scaring me with all the bad stuff that could happen, and telling me if r MRI results are bad I may need surgery. I said I won't do surgery. . . I said I have a chiropractor and massage therapist. He said don't see your chiropractor till after the MRI. She might mess it up. the next day my massage therapist worked on the cuboid bone in my foot. That was the cause of the foot problem. I had tight muscles in my thigh which made the leg seem weaker. It was a very odd visit with DR. Pastore. I had the feeling he was trying to push me into medical solutions for things that could be easily remedied by my long time chiropractor and massage therapist. Doctors almost always consider complimentary therapy bad.and useless. . I am left with feeling uneasy about visiting Dr. Pastore in the future.

In late December of last year, I had an appointment with Dr. Pastore. In the 20 minutes he spent…read morewith me I learned more about my body than I had anticipated. I mainly went to him as my right foot had gone numb. It was quite debilitating, and I could not drive. After a thorough examination he explained to me it was not my foot and believed the problem to be my back. He immediately ordered physical therapy for me, a lumbar MRI, told me to find a back doctor and I started my journey of healing which does concern my back. I will be forever grateful that he did not order unnecessary tests. Physical Therapy and Acupuncture is actually what is healing the numbness in my foot. Thank you Dr. Pastore for your honesty and integrity. If I ever do have a do have a foot problem - you're the doctor!

My husband went here for a knee surgery and that went fine but they really push a lot of PT and lie…read moreabout how much they charge per session. He had gone in to pay the bill in person and their system was in the middle of being updated to a new system so he made a payment and left, when he tried to call and make a payment it didn't work due to the "new system" - ok fine. Then within 8 days of making a payment he got sent to collections which we paid off in full once we got that call. How insane that we attempted twice to pay within the same two weeks, given the run around about the system, then get sent to collections within days of making a large payment. Their prices seem extremely high compared to other practices. My husband did like the doctor so he decided to go back for another knee consultation where they told him he needed more PT, told him the price per session based on his insurance would be $15 per session. We got an $1500 bill with the PT sessions being anywhere from $68 to $135. They lie. Will never give them any business again. Avoid.

I got to know everyone working there after my 3 month stint. 3 times a week for 3 months. Luckily it was during the NCAA tournament, so at least we had that to talk about. My therapist was a very nice woman, but she was a slave driver. Unfortunately, that's just what I needed so it worked out well. I was even doing exercises at home just to speed up my release. They were great at scheduling me during times I could be there and very encouraging when I felt like a total wimp. All is good now and I'm happy that I don't have to go there anytime soon. But if I have another injury, that's where I'm headed!

NIGHTMARE/WASTE OF TIME!…read more I was recommended to see Dr. John L. Andreshak, at OAD Ortho/(Warrenville location) by my primary doctor. I was mortified by my whole experience with OAD. I have insurance, this place was in network. On the 1st and only appt, I met with Andreshak who only gave me one option for spine surgery which i need pretty badly. When asked if a fusion was the only thing that could be done to fix my spine, I was told that it was my ONLY option. Later, after several other Dr.'s opinions it was found that there were plenty of other options for my back/spine issue. I have been in a lot of pain over the last few months, and before leaving, Nurse Nancy told me i was getting a prescription for pain medication, and she would send it to a nearby Target location. Once getting to the Target, I was notified by the Pharmacist that the prescription paperwork I had in my hand belonged to someone else!! ? The next day after suffering from my pain, I called OAD several times and they finally returned my call. I was notified by the OAD nurse at that time, that there was no pain medication prescription for me... I just feel that these people are not in the business of treating patients, They're in the business of making money.. I strongly feel i was treated poorly right after I notified OAD to send my information and file to other Orthopedic's for second opinions. Believe me, i'm glad I got a few opinions. After testimonials on spinal fusion, I found that after a 10 year period a secondary fusion is required and possibly a third after that 10 years from the second. I highly recommend getting second opinions in general, but dont think for a minute that doctors like Andreshak know whats best for you, because only you know whats best for you.. If i could give this place negative stars I would. Not an option on this site. A very concerned spine/back patient.

I searched almost a year for the right doctor due to my strong groin pain (I was misdiagnosed by…read moreother doctors as well), but when I got a referral for Dr. Paprosky I realized that the search worthwhile. First visit put me at ease, and I knew I met a brilliant doctor. He always takes time and doesn't make your appointments feel rushed. His team is awesome. Stephanie always answered all my questions, and she was very kind talking to me during my first weeks after surgery and after that period also. Jennifer is very knowledgeable and a great listener. My hip surgery was terrific, and I was on my feet without any devices after two weeks postop, and for my age it was incredible. My incision was flawless and healed very fast. My good results and quick recovery were due to Dr Paprosky"s surgical expertise and his talented Fellows. I would say Dr. Paprosky is one of the best doctors I have ever met. He is very approachable and friendly. Strongly recommended. The best of the best.

Dr Scott Sporer is fantastic, a true miracle worker. Since June of 2024, my husband suffered…read moretremendous pain from his right knee up to his right thigh toward his lower back area. After acupuncture, physical therapy, pain medicines, and cortisone related epidural shots which did not touch the pain and 5 doctors later, I saw a friend of mine who I had not seen in over 15 years in a Jewel store. She asked how my husband was doing. I mentioned that he, at this point WE, have been suffering with pain for almost a year in his right hip, thigh and back area. She mentioned that she had experienced similar pain and that she had a hip replacement which was done by Dr. Scott Sporer. Note, she was dancing in the aisle in Jewel, and after getting the contact information from her I went directly home, not finishing my grocery shopping, and called his office immediately. After explaining what was going on with my husband and that I needed an appointment right away, his scheduler Angie got us an appointment a few weeks later. I did a count down until that day came, which was on Valentine's day. I love Dr. Sporer! He was thorough in his examination, patient, listened and explained everything. Mind you I had every MRI, and x ray, the actual images on discs, lab work and progress notes that had been taken over the months. However, upon arrival an x-ray was taken at Dr. Sporer's office and it was agreed that the joint was bone on bone in the right hip. Although my husband also has arthritis throughout his joints, Dr Sporer explained to us my husband's options which included right hip replacement. My husband agreed that surgery was his choice at this point. Dr. Sporer asked when you would like surgery, and my husband immediately stated tomorrow! This was my husband who was previously afraid of having surgery but, at this point, the pain was unbearable and he wanted it addressed immediately, so did I! The surgery was performed in March and was a success, and slightly over 5 weeks later, my husband who prior to surgery could not stand up straight without making old folks pain sounds, and I were in Los Cabos where we both thanked God, relaxed, and my husband was in little and mostly no pain. Please note that follow-up with Katherine Olsen PA-C, the PT team with Caitlyn Jaraczewski and the follow-up with Dr. Sporer and continuing your PT is critical for full recovery. When looking for a hip replacement surgeon look no further, Dr. Scott Sporer is the one and he brings with him a Team of physicians, nurses, technicians, a real Team, to see you through your journey to a better life. Thanks Dr. Sporer for giving me my husband back!!!!!
