Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The Best
I feel so blessed to have found Dr. Dolitsky, Northwestern Hospital, Orland Park. I had extreme pain with my knee for quite a while, Dr Dolitsky took the time to research my issues pertaining to this knee.. His professional, caring, kind demeanor helps when you’re in pain. Not to mention his patience and attention to listening to your concerns. If you’re looking for an outstanding orthopedic doctor for your knees I highly recommend Dr. Dalitsky

Excellent doctor, excellent service.
He's been doing this type of work for several years. I figured that if he ran into a problem during my surgery he'd already seen it in the past and knew how to correct it.He's my guy. The whole staff/surgical team were top notch. Too bad I can only give them 5 stars.

Dr. Dholisky is a wonderful doctor. He replaced my husband's hip and my knee. He is extremely competent and takes all the time needed to discuss your health.

Dr. Dolitsky and his staff were the best. He replaced my left knee in 2013. Dr. Bruce explained everything about the surgery in detail and why he did it that way. He has his patients up and in a chair the very same day as surgery. Uses the least amount of anesthesia so you can get up and about after surgery. Where is Dr. Dolitsky? I need my right knee replaced and I don’t trust any other doctor. He was always available to his patients without an appointment if you needed to see him. Carol his head nurse was a gem. I felt like family not just a patient.

Doc had surgically repaired both of my rotator cuffs to great success, pain management had always been spot on, he will be surely missed if he decides not to come out of retirement,his staff was as much appreciated as he!! Wish you and your staff nothing but success and enjoy your future endeavors Doc Dolitsky!!!

One of the best Doctors I've ever been to. He has treated myself, my husband, and my children all with excellent results. He listens to you, he is easy to talk to, explains his treatments, and never makes you feel rushed. Most importantly he and his staff are caring.
