“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

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

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…

Carol's Story - Total Knee Replacement

Hello, my name is James C. I had a horrific accident in 2011 and I was told that I would never walk again. As part of my injuries my right leg was bonded straight. I had an evaluation with Dr. LaReau about correcting this issue. A decision was made to install a “Hinge Knee”. The procedure went fantastic! Within weeks after the procedure I was walking again and I was told by other surgeons that I would never walk again. Dr. LaReau and Gretchen are fantastic to deal with! They are prompt…

33 Year Old Male Right 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

Dr. LaReau is a very skilled, dedicated, compassionate and caring Orthopedic surgeon. Because of my mis-diagnosis, I was given a cortisone shot. Since they were treating a non existing problem, it did no good. After seeing another Orthopedic surgeon, I was diagnosed in need of a complete hip replacement. However, because of the cortisone shot, the surgeon would not operate until 6 months after the shot was administered. During the six months the pain increased steadily. My pain becam…

83 Year Old Female Right 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…
