If you are in need of an orthopedic surgeon, there's no need to go any further than the professionals at Midwest Orthopedics at Rush.
I was in need of a spinal fusion due to a ruptured disc and vertebral slippage from spondylolisthesis with pars fracture at L4/L5. After researching, I felt the surgery I needed was not going to be just routine. After 2 consultations with local surgeons in the area where I live, I was truly blessed to have come across Midwest Orthopedics at Rush, Chicago.
After reading their website, I learned that Dr.Kern Singh's vast expertise included surgically repairing spinal conditions such as my own.
At my consultation, I was warmly introduced to Dr.Singh and his team, Dr's Assistants Christopher, Patrick, and Nurse Ariel.
Dr.Singh is amazing. He exudes warmth and confidence in his welcoming handshake and caring eye contact.
I knew I was going to be in the best of care. During the consultation, Dr.Singh said that the surgery he had planned would relieve me of my terrible pain and physical limitations.
Upon listening to him speak confidently that the surgery would consist of both an ALIF and a PLIF, and the placement of a disc spacer.
I knew my pain filled days were nearly over. I couldn't wait for my surgery date.
My surgery was on September 6th 2019. It was a Friday. The surgery itself took about 2 and a half hours. I spent that night at the hospital with EXCELLENT pain management and care.
Saturday morning came and the orthopedic PT had me not only up and walking, but climbing up and down a flight of stairs. They needed to make sure I could climb the flight of stairs to enter my home.
By late that same Saturday afternoon I was released to go home. The next day was Sunday, and I was out with my family for a short grocery shopping trip.
I cannot thank Dr.Singh enough for giving me my life back. His surgical technique is life changing AMAZING.
From the time of my surgery, till today, my 15th week post-op, I am pain free. At 4 weeks I started PT 3x weekly, walk 2-4 miles daily and carry out all my household responsibilities.
I know I have a long way to go before my spine will be completely fused, but my family and friends cannot believe my pain alleviation, and the progress I have made since surgery.
My deepest gratitude goes out to everyone at Midwest Orthopedics, from the front desk staff to the surgical and hospital professionals...and Especially Dr.Singh.
You are all top notch at what you do, and I hope you know that you are truly touching lives with the healing work that you do by freeing your patients from a life of pain.
Thank You Dr.Singh and everyone at Midwest Orthopedics.
You're the absolute BEST.
