70 Year Old Left Anterior Total Hip Arthoplasty

Early in 2011 I realized that the pain in my left hip was not going to go away if I didn’t get some professional help. I had been trying to cope with a hip that was progressively causing more problems for about 2 years, and nothing I tried on my own seemed to help. I finally told my primary care doctor about the pain and he suggested that I see Dr Justin LaReau with Hinsdale Orthopedics to see what was wrong. An exam and a couple of xrays showed that I had lost the cushion in the hip j…

68 Year Old Male Left & Right Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty

“Dr. LaReau was the fifth Chicago-area orthopaedic surgeon I consulted about my hip pain which was caused by hip dysplasia and osteoarthritis. His demeanor and confidence immediately put me at ease. He and his assistant intently listened to my story and concerns. He took the time to answer all of my questions and personally called me in response to some additional questions I emailed to his assistant. I didn’t consult with any more surgeons after meeting with Dr. LaReau; I knew that he was the o…

39 Year Old Female Right and Left Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty

Being told that you need to have a major surgery is not what I wanted to ever hear in my lifetime. Being told that the top surgeon in Wisconsin couldn’t do the procedure just added to my anxiety. I was nervous about having the surgery, about what would follow and about meeting Dr. LaReau. I am a shy person and the idea of a complete stranger operating on me was a very scary thing. In reality Dr. LaReau made me feel comfortable from the first time I met him. I will never forget that firs…

17 Year Old Female Right Hip Periacetabular Osteotomy

My name is Josie and I would like to tell everyone how great Dr. LaReau is. When I went to see Dr. LaReau I was in a lot of pain with both of my knees. Dr. LaReau recommended knee replacements. At that time I cried, Dr. LaReau had so much compassion and understanding. He explained very carefully how replacements look and work. It has been almost two years and I had both my knees completed three months apart. They are straight, I am experiencing no pain and I am back to doing things I…

67 Year Old Right and Left Total Knee Arthroplasty

I am so pleased to have met Dr LaReau. He has given me my life back. I had been in such pain and unable to walk unassisted for at least a couple of years because a prior knee replacement loosened and broke due to a series of issues. I now have my new knee and it is an amazing piece of equipment. Though still working on rehab, I’m able to walk pain free and virtually unassisted. I will be able to walk up and down stairs properly for the first time in 10 years. My progress is amazing to me afte…

56 Year Old Left Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty

To all of you considering Total hip replacement surgery: My hip replacement surgery by Dr. Justin LaReau on Sept. 26, 2012 was unbelievable. Having had my right hip replaced 18 years ago, I expected the left hip to involve days in the hospital and a painful recovery. With Dr. LaReau’s skilled hands, using the anterior approach, I was on my feet that day with virtually no pain and spent one night in the hospital. I was walking the next day and needed minimal physical therapy. Dr. LaRe…

71 Year Old Male Left Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty

At age 70, after habitually walking four or more miles each day for many years, I experienced such severe difficulty in mobility that I had to rely on a cane and eventually a walker for even limited room to room movements. Dr. LaReau was highly recommended to me by a teacher colleague of my wife, based on the success Dr. LaReau demonstrated in restoring the full mobility of that colleague’s 87-year-old mother. It is now two weeks since Dr. LaReau completed the second of my two hip replac…

Mike and Judy Carroll, Glen Ellyn, Illinois

Dr. LaReau gave my life back to me when he performed the surgery to partially replace my knee. Before the surgery, it was difficult for me to walk any distance without severe pain. Now, thanks to Dr. LaReau, I am living my life normally once again. From my first visit to his office to my postoperative visits, he and his staff have been wonderful. They have been there to answer any questions and offer their support through the whole process and I can’t thank them enough.
