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…

85 Year Old Male Left Total Knee Revision

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…

It’s difficult to find the word to express my appreciation and gratitude to Dr. Justin LaReau and his staff. I had been in pain for over ten years with both knees, had knee replacement five years ago that failed and brought me even worse pain. I came to Hinsdale Orthopaedics after a recommendation and met with Dr. LaReau. He felt he could help me. After Dr. LaReau performed revision surgery I have been pain free, so much so that I had him replace my other knee after only eights months. …

59 Year Old Female Right Total Knee Arthroscopy and Left Total Knee Arthoplasty Revision

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 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…
