Lisa Juraszek Double Hip Replacement Success Story.
Dear Dr. Louis, I cannot put down in words how much you and your team have changed my life. When I say “changed”, I mean you literally restored my quality of life. I had been putting off undergoing a hip replacement surgery for approximately 5 years. As a former runner and tennis player, I knew I had some hip problems. I managed my pain with hip injections for 4 years, until I could no longer bear the pain. When I met you, I was surprised by your kindness, sense of humor, and genuine concern for me. Although I was startled when you told me I would need to have BOTH of my hips replaced (and heck, here I thought I was going to get off “easy” with having one hip replaced), it ended up being the best route for me to take. From the moment I met you that first [...]
Teen Gymnast Rebounds After Rare Talus Injury
Teen Gymnast Rebounds After Rare Talus Injury To see teen gymnast, Janae Small, compete is to watch energy and grace in motion. A petite teen with a broad smile, Janae has embraced gymnastics with passion from the moment she started as a child in 2005. Janae makes tumbling seem effortless as she moves through her routines in competition. Though, we all know it isn’t effortless—and is often dangerous. In November 2017, Janae suffered a severe injury, as she performed the last tumbling pass of her floor exercise event. The meet, held at the Downers Grove North High School, was the season opener against Downers Grove South, and all of the gymnastics fans in Downers Grove were there. As Janae was finishing her routine, she landed with such force that she injured her ankles and needed immediate EMS response. She was carried off the gymnastics floor on a stretcher, with her [...]
Meet Tom L
Dr. Louis, Your reputation precedes you. It was word of your miraculous surgical skills that lead me to seek you out for a consult. I am so very happy my journey led me to your excellent care. Your counsel educated me about my specific condition as well as being delivered with so much understanding, compassion and empathy. The accommodations made to expedite my care have not gone overlooked or unappreciated. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I am exactly 6 weeks out post today and my hip is perfect! Thank you for giving me back a functional life. The ability to now do it without pain. To simply enjoy a walk now because I can. Knowing almost too much about the surgical replacement process, I was terrified of all the ways it could go sideways. Nothing did. Your expertise and the staff of professionals that you have built around you [...]

Meet Connie Birsa
My first ride 8 weeks post hip replacement surgery! I can't thank Dr. Louis and his team enough for giving me my life back. I had seen two other surgeons in the past and was told I would never ride again. Boy, were they wrong! I can ride pain free! Coming back for follow up visits, is like stopping by to see friends. Everyone is so kind and supportive. Dr. Louis, Alicia and Stacy went above and beyond to help me. I no longer live each day in agony. I can't stop smiling!!
