Prior to my shoulder surgery, my surgeon wanted to see if physical therapy might do the trick I…read moredid some research, and elimanted PT offices that were primarily for sports related injuries. Suffering greatly I phoned and was pleasantly surprised to be given an appointment for the next day. That began my journey with Kim Connelly. Kim did a thorough assessment and convinced me that she would do everything to bring me back as close to normal as possible. After six weeks the surgeon and I decided to schedule surgery on my rotator cuff and torn bicep. Kim Connelly prepared me in advance by strengthening the surrounding muscles. She said it would help teduce post-,op recovery. For six weeks after surgery I was in a sling on my dominant side. I was afraid that PT might hurt too much, but slowly and gently Kim and her team of Carol, Chris and Terese kept my shoulder from freezing up. The first week was painful of course but all of my rides were warmly welcomed into the facility which helped distract me. Nearly ten weeks after surgery I have a terrific range of motion despite the pain. Often I have to stop because it is a slow process. I will be excited when I can reach behind my back again. Kim made the torture chamber Into a family. She will be moving upwards at another facility in Hinsdale and will be missed by her adoring patient fans. Luckiky she trained her staff to be as attentive to each individual as she has been.

eh. same therapy day after day. they are nice and all but they seem to fall into same 'ol' same…read more'ol' steps to therapy costly. I have a high deductible health policy. 135/visit. I'm not seeing results to justify out of pocket cost. I have the routine memorized and they printed out what I haven doing so I'm good on my own. nothing much was changing. it if there are going to be improvements I can gain them on my own now. I can get a professional deep tissue massage from a massage therapist for FAR less than 135 per pt visit.

EDIT: I meant to post this at the oak lawn location. My experience stands but it wasn't this place…read more Please contact yelp to have my review deleted as I cannot. This place is astonishing. You can call to have the same order faxed over three different times, be told it's being faxed over three different times, rushed off the phone three different times, and then call the place you were referred to and be told three times that they have not received anything. You can call inquiring about your next appointment, be told you would be contacted in 2-5 business days once results were sent over, and then proceed to wait for 2 more weeks still without contact. This despite you having a copy of the testing results in your MyChart. This place is a joke and easily belongs in a museum of medicine's hall of fame, First-Team ALL-Medicine Lazy. I hate that I have to come here to be treated. I have to post this anonymously because I still have to come and fear retaliation. I plan to leverage the social media following I've spent the last 13 years gathering across platforms and make it my goal to make sure people from Shanghai to Chicago know that this isn't a place you should choose if you ever had a choice. Dr. James Leonard is a phenomenal surgeon but his front desk makes me hate that I have to be his patient.

Long long waits. I was told by someone that has worked there for years new patients get seen right…read moreaway. If you're a returning patient expect very long waits. Dr Branovacki replaced my right hip and left knee within 4 months...knee is getting replaced by another Doctor (11 months later!!!) and the hip has to be put on hold until I can get the knee revision and all the work after that. My "bad" hip feels better than the replacement. He is pleasant when he meets with you but don't be fooled!! He wants to do many surgeries (did 13-15 with both my joint replacements in a day!!! Unheard of after talking to multiple new doctors!) and tells his patients the replacements last 30 years!!! My knee lasted 11 months and the hip he replaced will be next!!! Do not use Midwest ortho in Orland or oak lawn!!!! Do your research...there's many better ones out there!!! Your time and quality of life matters!!! Dr Branovacki took my quality of life for the last 1.5 years!!! I've seen Dr Leonard for shoulders who has you wait forever and has probably also gotten too many patients and rushes you out of the office. Dr Emily mayekar for my hand...talk about no bedside manner...so rude. Please steer clear of this place!!!! Do not use Midwest Ortho!!!

I desperately needed a hip replacement. I was walking in pain and continuing to work, which…read moreinvolved a lot of walking. Not wanting to be a wimp, I ignored the pain in the hip and just kept going. I had a pretty bad limp and started using a cane. I came to my senses and finally retired and saw Dr B at the Oak Lawn office. He reviewed my xray with me and I could see how badly messed up the hip had become. He scheduled me for surgery in early October, 2021. Preop, in the surgery holding area, he explained everything again and allowed me to ask questions. I went into the OR are LaGrange Hospital at about 9:00 am and was home by 5:30 pm. I felt a little sore, but it wasn't bad at all. I had been given pain meds and they worked wonderfully. By mid-November 2021, I was back to my old self. I had to be very careful not to dislocate the hip by moving/sleeping the wrong way, but I felt wonderful. It is now January, 2022, and I am back at 100%. Dr Branovacki does wonderful work and is also a very nice guy. So glad I went to him.

My husband had a knee replacement on February 24,2926. He's 73 with a colostomy. The doctor told…read morehim to go to the surgical center). At 4:43 the nurse said btw if you don't pee in 8 hrs go to the ER. So 3 hrs later we had our first of 6 ER visits in 3 weeks. Apparently his nerve block shots damaged the nerves and shut down the bladder. He has had a Foley catheter since then. His quality of life has been forever changed. The doctor has never called to see how he is or why he never returned for his post op. I thought we picked a great doctor. Now I just feel guilt for sending my husband to Branavacki. Please research your surgeon better than we did. And Do Not go to Branavacki!

Dr. Lim is very friendly and listened to my concerns of my back problems. I had x-rays, bone…read moredensity test and an MRI. He told me I had a broken back and would have pain relief if I had an epidural injection. Called to schedule with Chrissy who works for Dr. Kim who would be doing the procedure. Chrissy called to say the procedure would not be covered as they were not in my network. I called BCBS to verify. They said they only require a 5 digit procedural code from the doctor's office. Have left a message with Chrissy to get help. Procedure will be done this Thursday. Hopefully relief is forthcoming! Tina M.

Dr. Richard Lim is one of the finest Orthopedic Spine Surgeons in the Country, many surgeons did…read morenot want to operate on me because of the complicated nature of my case. I had a giant herniated disk with severe central canal stenosis along with complete effacement of the Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) around the nerve roots. Redundant nerve roots (RNRs) and the beginnings of Cauda Equina Syndrome and Arachnoiditis. I had terrifying pain in the hip, buttocks, groin and leg. Sound Complicated? That is because it was and the risk of surgery was high. Dr. Lim took on my case and performed an extremely successful Posterior Spinal Fusion with Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) using a Titanium artificial disk also known as a Intervertebral Cage and a facetectomy on L2/L3 with a very Complex Decompression of Cauda Equina and Bilateral L1/L2 nerve roots and Hip Bone Marrow Aspiration with an Allograft Bone Graft plus 2 Bilateral foraminotomies along with an annulotomy. This was all done using a 3D computer-assisted stereotactic navigation system. I mention all this to demonstrate why even world-renowned Neuro Surgeons declined to take my case. Right after surgery 100 percent of my pre-surgical pain in the hip, buttocks, groin and leg was gone. At 3 months out I was walking 3 miles and at 4 months I was hiking in the forest on hilly and challenging terrain and had a zero-pain score. Also, his P.A. Michael Meeker is fantastic as is the entire staff at Midwest Orthopedic Consultants. So if you need simpler or very complex Lumbar or Cervical Spine surgery, please contact Dr. Richard Lim. Also feel free to contact me at george.pastorino@gmail.com. 2 pre-surgery and 2 post surgery pics attached
