Emergency!Pediatric Othepedic Surgeon Suggestions

Don't be nervous! My 2 year old broke his arm last month, its not that bad.

We saw Dr. Albert Knuth at Orthapedic Surgery Specialists. The got us in right away (the day after we called) and he was really great. He really put my husband at ease (he was freaking out because it happened "on his watch") and he is a dad to 5 kids, so was really great with my son.

There are also other doctors in their office that i Have worked with on a professional level and they are very good too.

Here is the info:

I have also worked with most of the doctors at Illinois Bone and Joint and they are really good and since there are so many of them they can usually get you in right away. Here is their website:

Not sure how booked she is but Dr. Monica Kogan at Rush is really good. My daughter broke her leg and my daughter's pediatrician called Dr. Kogan's office and got us an appt the next day. Maybe your son's pediatrician could call there or somewhere else for you? Good luck.

My son had a similar issue 2 yrs. ago when he was 2 1/2. We went to Dr. Perez-Sanz & Dr. Fakhouri from Midwest Orthopaedics in Orland Park. I promise you, you will not get a better Dr. or surgeon (if he needed one) than these two - top of their field!

Here's the info.

Midwest Orthopaedic Consutlant
10719 W. 160th Street
Orland Park, IL 60467

Good luck!
