Just had knee surgery yesterday with Dr. Chudik and I'm super happy with the whole experience from…read morestart to finish! Dr. Chudik came highly recommended by my PT. I was able to get an initial appointment scheduled right away, zero wait! My appointment started on time. He ordered an x-ray (on-site) and then determined I needed an MRI (also on-site) so I came back a few days later for the MRI, once my insurance agreed. Once he determined what was needed he offered to do surgery the next day! I decided to wait 5 days, but I was really impressed that he could arrange for surgery so quickly! So far so good with the surgery outcome. His bedside manner is lovely. He met with my husband and I pre-op at the surgical center then my husband again after the procedure while I was waking up in Recovery. He individualized the plan as I have a duel diagnosis of cancer. It would appear that his surgical skill is excellent too as I actually feel really good and it's only 24 hours post-op. So I'm pretty sure he solved the problem! I'm up walking on crutches, no swelling and just a bit of pain! I also want to give a shout out to the other members of Dr. Chudik's awesome team at Hinsdale Orthopaedics: Brecken the athletic trainer who did my initial screening was professional, efficient, attentive to my worries, and made sure all my questions were addressed. Pat in X-ray, who I saw on two separate days, was so friendly and upbeat and she remembered when I came back the second time that we were distant Irish cousins so that's a fun coincidence. Jason in MRI scheduling was friendly and helpful, checked my insurance for me and scored me an evening MRI spot so I wouldn't miss work. Michelle the PA squeezed me in for a last-minute pre-op visit then took loads of time with me and made sure all my concerns were addressed, even called to check on me the night prior. Front desk clerks were friendly too. Great experience! I highly recommend Dr. Chudik for orthopedic surgery!

Their nickname is MAYHEM & MALPRACTICE!!! AVOID THEM!!!…read more I was referred to M&M Ortho by Good Sam's when I dislocated my right knee for the first time, and ended up in Good Sam's ER. I really should've sued them, but I was younger, and fairly naive. I had a female dr. whose name started with a Z. I can't remember the name, but she had dark hair. Anyways. She had my knee immobilized three times longer than it should've been, according to the other ortho dr's and physical therapists I've seen. At one of my appointments, I had a $30 co-pay and wasn't even in the building for a full 15 minutes! She asked if I could bend my knee yet, I said no. She poked around, asking if it hurt, I said yes, and she said to go to physical therapy. The physical therapist I went to immediately after said I had more scar tissue built up in my knee from being immobilized so long than I would've had if I'd had surgery.

I am writing this review based on the experience I had with my 80 year old mother. She had hip…read morereplacement surgery in early October 2016. From the initial office consultation, through surgery and into the follow-up visit with the doctor, all of the Hinsdale Orthopedics staff we encountered were terrific. I hesitate to name some of the staff specifically, because they were all professional, helpful and courteous, but I offer 3 in particular. Katie: during the initial office visit in August and the follow up visit in late October, Katie was knowledgeable, caring and patient. She answered all of our questions carefully and made my mom feel like she was a VIP. You can tell when someone takes pride in their work - that's Katie. Judy: working behind the scenes, Judy took care of all of the scheduling details. But more importantly, she took the time to check on progress and results. In the critical week before surgery, she noted that the labs facility (not affiliated with their office) had not followed through on the lab orders correctly. She alerted me so I could get my mom's labs taken care of so we didn't lose the surgery date. Kudos to Judy for great communications and taking the time to care about us. Dr. Alden: doctor made my mom feel at ease with his easy-going manner. Once he established that surgery was the best course of action, he made it clear that the timeline was entirely up to us - absolutely no pressure. He carefully explained her options, fully answered our questions and discussed the expectations of surgery. Interaction at the hospital and follow-up at the office was likewise caring and patient. We have no other experience to compare to. This was the first joint replacement surgery in our immediate family. But without hesitation, we would recommend Dr. Alden and his excellent staff. As I write this, mom is 3 weeks and 3 days post-surgery. For the most part, she has graduated from the walker and is using the cane around the house, becoming more independently mobile every day. Prior to surgery, she had very significant bone-on-bone pain. Her pain is now limited to minor muscle pain as she gets adapted to her new hip and increased mobility. The prognosis is for zero pain in the very near future. Thank you Dr. Alden for giving my mom a new period in her life of increased mobility and much less pain.

Had he not done that, I would've gotten my ROM back. Insurance dropped me because I "wasn't making progress".

Fortunately, they had an MRI available at another location. However, when I went to see the scheduler to schedule my mom's MRI, that was where we experienced the most disservice. The scheduler assisting us was Sara, and she was the most condescending, insulting, and arrogant person I have ever met. First, she called my mom's name, and I told my mom that I could speak on her behalf to get the appointment scheduled. Sara replied with an annoyed tone, "I need the patient. I have questions for her to answer." I explained that I handle all my mom's scheduling and that she gives me full consent to assist her. Sara responded, "Why do you know all her history?" So, I asked my mom to come up just to get it over with. Then, Sara asked if my mom spoke English, and my mom answered "Yes." Sara responded with an insulting look and said, "Do you speak English... WELL?" My mom pointed to me and said she would tell me if there was something she didn't understand. Then, Sara asked my mom what her primary language was, saying it was needed to arrange for a translator. She continued asking question after question, which both my mom and I answered. Afterward, Sara asked, in a condescending tone, "Are you going with her to the MRI appointment?" I said yes, and she replied, "Okay, because I don't know how good our translators are." Then, Sara said the earliest appointment she had available was on the 28th, which was a Friday. If that didn't work, she had Saturday available. I told her I would prefer Saturday, as I work Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. She responded in a condescending and insulting tone, "No, not Saturday. Erase that. She can only go Monday to Friday because she needs a translator." I explained that my mom understood the language, but Sara insisted, "No, she needs a translator. Forget I said Saturday. She cannot go on that day." I reminded her that I would be accompanying my mom, especially since she had asked if I was going, as she wasn't sure how good the translators were. Despite this, she insisted that my mom could not go on the Saturday appointment. I finally told her to forget it and that we would go with an outside provider who could accommodate us on a Saturday. I don't understand why my mom couldn't go on the Saturday appointment when I can translate for her. It wasn't my mom's first time having an MRI--she had previously had MRIs of her brain and neck. I don't understand why she was making such a big deal out of it. I thought Sara would help us make it work, but instead, we felt mistreated and insulted by her actions and words.

I went to Dr Mather years ago because I had 2 prior disc replacements for L4-L5 that didn't feel…read moreright. He did tests, and set me up for surgery. I had a third L4-L5 disc replacement, and then told me that he was leaving for 5 days with his family, and left a PA in charge. I told her every day for 5 days in the hospital that I had severe pain, different from prior surgeries, from my left hip to knee to the inside of my left lower leg. She rolled her eyes each time and told me to push the button (for pain meds.) When Dr Mather returned and saw I hadn't eaten or slept, and was in such severe pain, he did a CT scan and at the end of his day, at 10:30 pm, he took me back to surgery. After recovery, he said, "I removed a cherry pit sized piece of disc material that I inadvertently left behind." He said it could be 2-3 months before the very irritated L4 root nerve would calm down. He kept raising my dose of pain meds as I went to follow up appointments. After 4 months, he switched me to Oxycontin because he couldn't raise the Norco dose any higher due to too much acetaminophen. He said, "In some cases like yours, the root nerve never recovers, and I'm afraid that's what happened here." I became disabled for life, I lost my beloved nursing job, and could barely do anything that I previously loved to do. He referred me to a pain clinic. I went back periodically for Dr Mather to sign for a disabled car plaquard, and the last time, he yelled at me, "I will not sign this! I did no such thing! You are no longer my patient! SECURITY! Escort this person out of my office!!" Be very careful if anything goes wrong! The only reason I didn't bring suit is I lost my 22 year old son 2 months after surgery; 2 months before being told I was disabled for life. Otherwise, it would have been an easy win. People make mistakes, but when he kicked me out of his office, and denied it all happened, that made me sick. I continue to have complications now, years later. If I could give ZERO STARS, I would.

Having gone to him for a 3rd opinion at the time, I've seen other Orthopedic Surgeons & Ortho Docs at NM, Rush (downtown) & IBJI - this Dr is the only one to have a visual graphic to show what he believes my issues are and how each would need to be treated to help repair these problems in my cervical, spine & shoulder. Impressive! The location & parking is easy. Staff are efficient & cordial. It took 6 weeks to get an appointment. I give Dr Yasin 6 stars, but Rush Midwest Orthopedics gets only 4 stars because they charged me $6.50 for a copy of his physician visit notes and they take 14days to get them to you via email.
