I purposely waited six months after my surgery with Dr. Hook to write this review so I could be sure the results would last, and I couldn't be happier--he truly delivered. Back in 2023, I underwent a foot surgery with a different doctor to shorten my second toe that unfortunately failed and left me in persistent pain, unable to stay active. I visited multiple podiatrists and spent a small fortune on special shoes and ointments, but nothing brought relief until I met Dr. Hook. He set realistic expectations from the start, explaining he could make my foot better (not perfect, but improved), and his honesty gave me hope.
Now, thanks to Dr. Hook's expertise, I can walk comfortably, wear closed-toe shoes, and even work out again. I really appreciate that he was willing to take a balanced risk to improve my quality of life, and the aftercare I received was outstanding--something I never got after my first surgery. His whole team deserves a shout-out: the office staff was very friendly, the surgical team in Des Plaines was amazing, and physical therapist Julie in Oak Brook guided me through targeted exercises and therapeutic tools (like toe splints, stretchers, and bands) that made a world of difference in my recovery. I'm incredibly grateful to Dr. Hook and his team.
Needless to say, I highly recommend Dr. Hook. read more
