I sustained a torn pectoralis major tendon in my right pec on December 19th 2014. I was bench pench pressing and all of a sudden I felt a "pop" in the chest/shoulder area, Immediately I experienced internal bleeding and my whole right side of my arm and armpit area was purple. After seeing my primary Dr , I was advised I could still function by leaving it torn or I can have it repaired surgically. So I went the non-surgical route for a couple months until I started experiencing more pain. Around June I made an appointment to see Dr. Chudik and I underwent surgery on July 2, 2015. He repaired the torn tendon by doing an allograft of my iliotibial band. I had a speedy and healthy recovery in my opinion. I was able to bench press 95% of my body weight more than 12 times before my 6 month post operation date(I weigh 225 lbs). I had to perform a power test for a law enforcement job on January 9th 2016 and successfully passed. His team is great and always willing to answer any questions and accommodate any need. Like all other top doctors calling and getting an answer the same day is rare but everything else was great. I would strongly recommend Dr. Chudik! He is really knowledgeable about and I felt 100% confident with every thing he and his team did throughout my rehab process. I am back in the gym and feel great. I hope I don't have to Dr. Chudik any time soon, for the sake that I don't want to be injured again, but I know I would go back to him if needed. Miguel Z.

Dr. Chudik did a rotator cuff repair on my shoulder 9 months ago, and today, my arm feels great! I have all of my range of motion back & no pain. I saw Dr. Chudik a second time prior to scheduling surgery with a list of at least 25 questions. He was very patient in answering them, even drawing me pictures to show me what would be done. He was reassuring and made me feel confident that I would be OK. His physician assistants were knowledgeable and caring. I never felt rushed. His administrative assistant was also pleasant and wonderful to deal with, returning my calls & filling out paperwork for me always on time. I would definitely go back to Dr. Chudik if the need arose.

I had a complete tear in my rotator cuff as well as a bicep tear and my injury was complicated by 'frozen shoulder.' Steven Chudik surgically repaired my injuries and now I can golf, exercise and resume all previous activities. It has only been 8 months since my procedure and I am still working on restoring muscle strength, but my range of motion is excellent and I am very pleased with the results!

I had a rotator cuff repair and bicep repair done by Dr. Chudik. I am now 9 months post-operative, and my shoulder has returned completely to normal. I really liked the way he was set up. He employs some really good physician's assistants that I could contact at any time. He appears to be incredibly busy, but that is a good thing -- kind of like going to a crowded restaurant (you know the product must be pretty good). If you have a severe rotator cuff/bicep tear, Dr. Chudik is a good bet to fix it. I highly recommend him.

Just wanted to send out a huge thank you to Dr Chudikk and his team at Hinsdale Orthopaedics. Our Son Matt underwent hamstring reattachment surgery in June and while we expected his HS football career to end that day the great work or should I say magic of Dr. Chudik brought Matt back to the field of battle with 3 games to spare... It didn't take Matt long to make a statement as on his second carry of the night he scored his first TD of the season!!! So a heartfelt thank you to you and your team!

My 15 year old daughter was a returning patient of Dr. Chudik's. Both my daughter and I felt at ease with his expertise and the way he approached her knee issues. Dr. Chudik spent time making my daughter feel comfortable and clearly explained what needed to be done. I greatly appreciated how he took a conservative approach, trying other things, before jumping into surgery. When my daughter did have surgery, everything went according to plan. His staff was well trained and equipped to answers questions. I highly recommend Dr. Chudik.

My daugher tore her ACL and meniscus(both legs, a year apart). Dr. Chudik & his staff took excellenct care of her both times. He takes time to discuss any concerns you have. My daughters first surgery was a bit more complicated and his assistant took the time to call us in the waiting area to let us know things were going well. We consulted 3 different surgeons before meeting with Dr. Chudik and knew within minutes of our first visit that he was the doctor we wanted to take care of our daughter. Even though he has a busy schedule, I have never felt rushed through our appointments. I, and most importantly my daughter, highly recommend Dr. Chudik!!!

Dr. Chudik was the 3rd orthopedic specialist I saw due to debilitating pain in my left knee going back about 6 months. He took the time to listen and was optimistic about arthroscopic surgery for tears in the meniscus and some loose debris. The surgery went incredibly well and I experienced less pain within days of the surgery and was up and about very quickly. He and his entire team were top notch. I've worked in the healthcare field for many years so I'm a pretty picky consumer and I cannot think of a single thing that Dr. C and his team could have done better in caring for me. His credentials are excellent and after my experiences, I have to say that his results are exceptional.
