Dr. Dolitsky is the best Orthopedic Surgeons that I have ever had care for me. He treats patients with dignity, respect, is extremely caring and empathetic. He explains in detail your medical problem and the ways to treat it. I don’t feel that he ever suggests an invasive surgical procedure unless it is absolutely necessary. I trust his judgment and that is why I have returned to him for treatment. He is never “moody” and always seems cheerful and interested in “you” his patient.

I am a former patient of Dr.Dolitsky from a different medical group. I love his pleasant personality , professional attitude and knowledge. He takes time with his patients to explain the problems and difficulties. He doesn’t rush to suggest surgery unless there is no other solution. As a result of his type of philosophy I trust his judgment. I feel that he is a very caring and wonderful doctor.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
