I've been very happy about my experiences with Dr. Romano and his team. I first saw him when his…read morepractice was part of Hinsdale Orthopaedics - Oak Park. He's since split away and gone out on his own. My first experiences with this practice date back to when it was Trinity Orthopaedics. Dr. Sheehan was an exceptional doctor and Dr. Romano keeps to that tradition. He is thorough with his exams and spends a lot of time interacting with patients and understanding their concerns. I like that he seems to focus more on rehabilitation than surgical intervention, instead favoring physical therapy, sports medicine, and other non-invasive approaches. At the same time, he's not going to ignore the need for surgery when it will get the job done. I trust Dr. Romano to take care of me and do a do a good job. He's an all-around excellent surgeon. One thing that stands out about Dr. Romano is his unique diagnostic approach. He focuses on root causes. He explained to me about one patient who came in wanting shoulder surgery, but he was able to trace the cause to the mid-back. When he treated that, the shoulder pain went away. Had he operated on the shoulder, it probably would have continued to hurt because the shoulder was fine. I went in for an injury and he was quickly able to pinpoint the cause and get me to physical therapy. The physical therapy department in his office, led by Dr. Nugent, is excellent. The guy is really smart and cares a lot about his patients. The only downside is that you may wait a while to be seen. His thoroughness comes at a minor cost. The waits can be long some days, but I'd rather wait for good service than have a doctor spend 2-3 minutes with me on a half-assed exam but be right on schedule. I understand they limit the number of presenting concerns you can bring in a single visit, but that makes sense.

I've been going there for 2 weeks now and I have to tell you, the person to see if you are having muscular pain issues is Tammy Gross-McCoy, PTA. Her knowledge of the human body is astounding. She can feel every muscle and joint in your body and apply the perfect pressure to relieve even the most intense pain that you are feeling. She is AMAZING! She doesn't rush you and is so gentle in her therapy. I'm having serious issues with my left shoulder and whenever I go see Tammy, my shoulder gets better and better with each visit. So grateful for her expertise and care. If you need the best in physical therapy, look no further than Tammy. No pun intended but "you're in good hands"

I wanted to take my time before writing this review, but after more than three years since my…read morearthroscopic shoulder surgery with Dr. Nikhil Verma at Rush Orthopedic, I feel compelled to warn others. I was told I'd see improvement within 6 to 16 months. Instead, my condition has steadily worsened. I originally came to Dr. Verma for anterior shoulder pain during heavy pushing exercises. My MRI showed no structural damage--everything looked clean. Still, he recommended exploratory surgery, saying it was common among athletic individuals like me and that he had a 98% success rate. He reassured me that, at worst, I'd be no worse off than before. That trust turned out to be the worst mistake of my life. Despite a failed diagnostic cortisone injection into the biceps tendon (which should have indicated that the biceps was not the pain source), he proceeded with surgery. Post-op, he said he had "found the problem" and performed a biceps tenodesis, debridement, and bone spur shaving. Since then, my pain has become chronic and debilitating, affecting every part of my life. Over the last three years, I've spent more than $100,000 out-of-pocket seeking help from specialists and pain experts across the country. I can no longer sleep properly, run without flare-ups, or maintain my once-active lifestyle. The toll this has taken on my physical and mental health--and my marriage--is beyond words. Four separate orthopedic surgeons have since confirmed that this surgery was unnecessary. I've also met other young, athletic patients who were misled or poorly treated by Dr. Verma and now face long-term damage. After everything, Dr. Verma simply told me he "couldn't help me anymore" and passed me off to other doctors. My final visits were frustrating: long waits, minimal face time, and no accountability. If you're considering surgery with Dr. Verma, I strongly urge you to get multiple opinions and fully explore non-surgical options. Based on my experience, his approach felt rushed, impersonal, and profit-driven. And when things go wrong, there's no ownership. Dr. Verma: the harm you caused has changed my life. I hope whatever money you made from this was worth it.

MIDWEST ORTHOPEDICS AT RUSH AND DR. GREGORY NICHOLSON HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT TO DO ANY IME FOR…read moreANY REASON THEY ARE BIAS AGAINST ANYONE THAT NEEDS AN IME. Beware of Dr. Nicholson and the staff at Midwest Orthopedics at Rush. Dr. Nicholson treats patients like they are below him and will make them wait until he decides to see them. He has absolutely no right doing any IME and he has a bias to anyone that needs an IME which he has proven. I had an IME scheduled on 6/14/2024 with Dr. Nicholson. He entered the room talking 90 miles an hour which I could not understand. This is after waiting past my scheduled time. I told him what time I was told my appointment was and he flew off the handle and slammed my file down on the counter and told me to leave because he was not putting up with my attitude. He then walked out. I walked out into the hallway and asked him for something saying that I was there. He said don't worry it will be in your file well I knew that meant that he would put something false in the file which he did. Then in the hallway I made it clear to him that he is not God since clearly, he thinks he is. Then as I was leaving, he yelled down the hallway you have nowhere to go anyway you're on unemployment. This is just another lie by the doctor since I am not on unemployment. He was trying to embarrass me in front of the staff and other doctors. I then left and contacted some lady named Renee with Midwest Orthopedics at Rush with my complaint about this Doctor. She ran back to the doctor and staff and told them a complaint has been filed and for them to get their story straight which from what I am told by some employees that I know is standard for Midwest Orthopedics at Rush. Dr, Nicholson did contact the insurance company that wanted the IME and did tell them outright lies about what happened. He even made-up things to make himself look good which is impossible since he was not in the room more than 1 minute. This Gregory Nicholson even thinks he gets to determine if someone has an angry face on them or not without ever seeing someone before. Then again, he thinks he gets to determine this because he thinks it makes him look good when actually it shows how he stereotypes people for his own benefit. Do not trust anything you are told by Midwest Orthopedics at Rush and Dr. Nicholson. If anyone is ever sent for an IME at Midwest Orthopedics at Rush, make sure to bring this feedback to your lawyers' attention. Then when I asked to speak to the CEO this Renee person tells me I have no right to speak to the CEO then changes it to the CEO refuses to speak with me. It's clear the CEO condones this culture at Midwest Orthopedics at Rush then again chances are the CEO is a physician that has had numerous complaints in the past also and got them covered up also. If they cover up what doctors do in the office can you imagine what is being covered up in the operating room? DO NOT TRUST THE DOCTORS ESPECIALLY GREGORY NICHOLSON AT MIDWEST ORTHOPEDICS TO BE IMPARTIAL TO ANYONE THAT IS GETTING AN IME HERE.

I asked her about the side effects and she did not know of any. Well, when I got home, I did a little research on the medication she ordered and WHOA! There were alot of serious side effects. I called her and asked for a topical treatment instead. She said I should stop in the office M W F at 9:15 to buy the topical ointment. I went today, waited and waited and waited. No one was there at 9:25. So I called and she said someone would be there in 10 minutes. I waited 15 minutes and no one showed. Pretty shabby office treatment. I do not recommend her.
