DR. CHAMS - EXCELLENT SURGEON AND DOCTOR WHO DELIVERS SOLID RESULTS WITH COMPASSION FOR YOU, LOCAL…read moreATHLETES AND NATIONAL TEAMS Dr. Chams is an excellent doctor and surgeon who repaired my damaged shoulder from a car accident where I was rear-ended by a commercial tow truck carrier. His great sports medicine and surgery skills helped me to regain my strength and range-of-motion. Compassionate and focused on your recovery. I've worked with many top sports doctors in my career so I have seen the best. I put Dr. Chams up there with the best orthopedic surgeons. Dr. Chams also went above and beyond the call of duty by fighting for me and supporting my efforts to get my medical bills paid from the insurance company of the responsible commercial truck driver. A ringing endorsement is that he has been a team physician for the National US Women's Soccer team as well as for North Shore schools. Highly recommend for your shoulder and knee injuries.

I called at 8:10 this morning and was able to get for a 2:00 app. with Dr. Vora (he had a cancellation). Got there and they had me in the exam room within 5 mins. Saw how they worked the place and it was like a well-oiled machine. IN AND OUT. Found out I didn't have a sprain, but a torn Achilles tendon. He was was cool... didin't send me for expensive tests, knew what he was doing, gave me a boot cast and prescription for meds and told me to stay off it for a week. No frills nice guy, and to the point..........couldn't ask for anything more. GREAT bedside manner............WAY COOL GUY.

I cannot possibly say enough great things about Dr. Thadani to say how wonderful her is. He is an expert surgeon because I healed very quickly as in 3 weeks. My pain and limp is gone.

I was fortunate to be referred to Dr Hoepfner when I severely injured my shoulder during a polar…read morevortex. I can't say enough good things about him. At the time, I didn't want to rush into surgery and he respected my feelings and gave me a time frame in which to decide. That time frame gave me the opportunity to see if my shoulder could heal on its own and remarkably it did...... I don't want to suggest that all injuries can heal without surgery, because sometimes it is absolutely necessary. But in my case, I was beyond grateful to Dr. Hoepfner for the way he handled things. After physical therapy my shoulder and arm have healed well. I found him to be a very personable and concerned doctor.

This wonderful doctor spent an hour in the room w/my father checking every moving joint from head to toe with the most kind, empathetic and patient manner I have ever witnessed. I was able to have peace of mind for the 1st time in a week since his accident. If you want the BEST you will go anywhere.

I like a doctor who stops and looks at you when you're speaking so you know he's listening. In addition, he's very thorough in explaining the options and makes you feel like you're partnering with him for the best possible outcome. The entire office runs smoothly, the wait time to get in is reasonable, and everyone is very caring and helpful. I must also give high marks to Natalie Coorlas, the nurse on his team, because she is fantastic, as well. I highly recommend Dr. Schwartz and will be back to have my other knee done in early 2027. Until then, thank you all for the great care provided!

So we have been going to Illinois Bone and Joint since my kids were old enough to brake their bones…read moreand sprain their joints. It is never a great experience to hurt yourself but every visit to Illinois Bone and Joint has been great (not including the pain or trauma). The office is set modern and the equipment is all state of the art. To me this is a key feature because I want to know with certainty if its broken or not! In addition to the modern facilities and hi tech equipment, Illinois Bone & Joint has a great staff. Our doctor in particular is extremely friendly and great with kids. That's not so easy when they are in their broken state! The firm has many offices and that makes it very convenient for us since we are always on the go. I would recommend Illinois Bone and Joint to anyone regardless of age and if I have brake or sprain I will be heading there as well. They are a 5 star operation in my book!

This review of 1 stars is based on their billing, not on the doctors. Several of us in my family…read morehave used IBJI over the years. I've just had an extremely disappointing experience related to their billing department and need to share a caution to others. I have had a very high credit score for many years and pay almost every bill very soon after it arrives at my house. Recently I got news that a derogatory comment had been added to my credit report. It showed up as some Medical Bus. Bureau which turned out to be a collection agency that it turned out had been brought in by IBJI. I was completely shocked and offended. I had contacted IBJI to try to see if there were any overdue charges for my family. The person I talked to said that she didn't find anything, but that there were a couple of IBJI contacts (however, she couldn't provide me another contact number for this supposed 2nd IBJI business). I had to contact the collection agency. They claimed that they'd sent me a couple of notices by mail and by text. I didn't believe them when they said they sent 2 mail notices, but I asked them for the IBJI account number related to the concern. I contacted IBJI again w/ this acct. number, and now they said yes, they saw the charge and had sent it to collections. They also claim to have sent multiple bills for this one time charge last year. I still have no idea what could have happened to all these mail communications as I've had a history of paying bills very promptly for so many years. Regardless, even if they really sent bills that were lost by the post office or my family, I would have appreciated a phone call before they would take this to collections. I've paid a number of bills for this company over the years and apparently somehow one charge was missed due to some communication issue. My credit score was dramatically impacted from the extremely high level to good. The collection agency claims this will be updated after my payment, but I'll believe it when I see the correction and cannot communicate just how upset I am that the billing department couldn't call before contacting a collection agency and causing me such trouble. I'd add that it would be nice if their online billing site would be more informative. You can pay bills if you receive a statement with the $ due, but when I've gone in to make payments, I've found that the system doesn't tell you what is owed. Before I consider returning to this business, I'd like to see a better online service as I've seen with our primary medical service company where I can pull up amounts due and statements online. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS GROUP BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE.
