5.0 star star star star starIf I could give higher than a 10 I would. I’ve never had a doctor with better bedside manner than him. He did my knee surgery 20 years ago and I will never have anyone else touch my knee. Hands down the best

5.0 star star star star starDr. Dolitsky is the best Orthopedic Surgeons that I have ever had care for me. He treats patients with dignity, respect, is extremely caring and empathetic. He explains in detail your medical problem and the ways to treat it. I don’t feel that he ever suggests an invasive surgical procedure unless it is absolutely necessary. I trust his judgment and that is why I have returned to him for treatment. He is never “moody†and always seems cheerful and interested in “you†his patient.

5.0 star star star star starI am a former patient of Dr.Dolitsky from a different medical group. I love his pleasant personality , professional attitude and knowledge. He takes time with his patients to explain the problems and difficulties. He doesn’t rush to suggest surgery unless there is no other solution. As a result of his type of philosophy I trust his judgment. I feel that he is a very caring and wonderful doctor.

5.0 star star star star starQuick, friendly, communicated well, and took care of my immediate needs. My doctor was amazing, my nurse and intake personnel were dolls, and my doctor gave me his card in case i ever needed to return. I felt heard! You know women like to feel heard. He even greeted my husband and involved him in my care. Top tier! Thanks Dr. Bruce D.

5.0 star star star star starDr Dolitsky is the best. He has given me a better quality of life. Since I’ve been seeing him My overall health has improved tremendously, I’m not a 100% but I’m able to do the things I normally do, before I saw him I could barely walk, I couldn’t clean my house or go grocery shopping. Now I’m able to do all those things.

5.0 star star star star starOne of the Best Doctors I had the pleasure of visiting. He has the Best bedside manner of any doctor I ever had. If you don’t know what he explains to you about your health, you will not understand anyone else what they could try to explain. Dr. Dolitsky explains everything in very sensible terms so you fully understand what is wrong and how to fix it.
Disclosures
External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
