Questions About Meeting Our Team
Who will I see at my first appointment?
Your first visit is with one of our providers, depending on the type of problem you are having. You can review each provider’s background on their profile page, and our staff can help you choose the best fit when you call (708) 263-2000 - Chicago Office or (708) 263-2000 - Tinley Park Office .
Can I choose which provider I see?
You are welcome to tell us which provider you would like to see when you schedule. If you are not sure, our team can match you with a specialist based on your injury or condition.
What is the difference between an orthopedic surgeon and a sports medicine provider?
Orthopedic surgeons are trained to diagnose and treat conditions of the bones, joints, muscles, and tendons, including with surgery when it is needed. Sports medicine focuses on injuries from athletic activity and on helping people return to play, and many of these injuries can be treated without surgery.
Do your providers only treat athletes?
No. We care for athletes of all levels, but also for active adults and anyone dealing with joint, muscle, or bone pain that limits daily life.
Do you offer physical therapy with your doctors?
Yes. Our physical therapy services are part of the practice, so your surgeon and therapist can work together on your recovery plan.
Where do your providers see patients?
We have two offices: 7543 183rd St in Tinley Park and 1301 E 47th St in Chicago. Both are open Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, and closed on weekends.
How do I schedule a visit with a member of your team?
You can call us at (708) 263-2000 - Chicago Office or (708) 263-2000 - Tinley Park Office or request a visit on our appointments page. First-time patients can also read our new patient information to prepare.
