Meet Craig Rowells
Dear Dr. Louis, Before time moves on too quickly I wanted to thank you for doing such a good job on me (Craig Rowells, June 19, 2017). Truthfully, I was "freaked out" about having surgery done on my hips, but the pain going on without any focus on helping my situation was stupid, it had gone on for far too long. I'm glad my wife, Lorraine, took time to find you. Though your site was somewhat hard to believe that such positive results were possible with the operation, after meeting you just once convinced me to go with you. The operation went well at Advocate Good Samaritan as remarkable as one can expect. With my family there, you relaxed them all with your positive energy. Thank you for that. I just completed 2 months at ATI physical therapy in Schaumburg, IL with them working me hard to take advantage of [...]

I had a marvelous experience acquiring my bionic hip. Dr Louis, his entire staff, and the entire Good Sam hospital staff, from the volunteer that welcomed us to the guy who wheeled me out upon release, and including op-prep, recovery, cleaning staff and food folks, and especially the extraordinary nursing/PCA staff, and including my post-op therapist Sue, was amazing - very concerned, attentive, accommodating and professional. I could not have asked for better care. Dr Louis and his total team came highly recommended to me and I am very glad to add my name to his list of very satisfied bionic hip customers. Thank you very much. My bionic hip surgery was 11-noon on 10/16/17. This is my first stroll with walker and Nash, my PCA (Personal Care Assistant), at 3:43pm on 10/16. Incredible!!! Look at the clock! Nash had advised me that while I had done very well, my gown was supposed to remain tied completely [...]
Leah – Anterior Hip Replacement
Dr. Louis, Not hearing from your hipsters is probably a good thing, but I cant hold off any longer and really want you to know how much you have changed my life (and that of my family). I no longer have a sore hip. I can walk for long periods of time. I dont limp, am sleeping, dont take any pain medication, ever. I dont even have a sore back. You were right! People ask me if I feel like I waited to long… I answer yes and then no… I found the best surgeon and have the new technique and feel so good. If I had to do it all again, I would wait just as long for you and your team and Chicago. I am often overwhelmed with gratitude and cry when telling the story. Quietly to myself, I am amazed several times a day when I get [...]

Meet Ron Chaddock
During my youth in Canada, and also as an adult, I always loved to play Ice Hockey. I would play top level Ice Hockey on a Canadian team and then as I grew older, I would play on the weekends with my friends. Then in recent years I started to notice significant pain in both my hips. I always thought it was probably due to my ongoing hockey activities and it began to restrict not just my hockey activities, but every day activities, like going up and down stairs, travelling with my wife on business trips, skating, walking, golfing and all the things I enjoyed. When I met with Dr. Louis he reviewed my x-rays and explained in much detail how my joints had worn down to what they call “bone on bone” and it really explained all the pain I was having. Dr. Louis discussed with me the advantages [...]
