BRIAN J. COLE, MD, MBA - MIDWEST ORTHOPAEDICS AT RUSH REVIEWS
After several years of living with chronic shoulder pain stemming from a diagnoses of arthritis in my shoulder and receiving countless cortisone shots that provided little if any relief, I was referred to Dr. Cole for a second opinion. The minute I walked into his office I knew I was in the right place. Dr. Cole and his team were extremely professional and compassionate during my consultation and provided me with several plans of attack in dealing with my shoulder pain. Dr. Cole was genuinely engaged and didn't treat me like another statistic. After weighing all options we decided on reverse total shoulder replacement surgery. The professionalism and compassion continued up to and throughout the surgery process. Several weeks into recovery and I am virtually pain free. To say Dr. Cole changed my life is an understament. Best decision I've made regarding my well being. Dr. Cole is a rock star.
I initially sought out an orthopedic surgeon to help manage my arthritis. The first surgeon I worked with told me I needed a total knee replacement. I was still young and wanted to live an active lifestyle, so I looked for a second opinion. Dr. Cole gave me assurance that I didn’t need a total knee replacement and has helped me manage my arthritis non-operatively. I am so grateful that Dr. Cole got me back to an active lifestyle!
I’m writing this review of Dr. Cole on behalf of my dad (who struggles with technology), but I can also thoroughly second all of this praise based on his improvements that I’ve witnessed firsthand. My dad was diagnosed with OA years ago following multiple ACL reconstructions and he was told he needed a double knee replacement at the age of 50. He went to Dr. Cole as a last resort to in an attempt to avoid this, and the treatments he’s received has him back to playing tennis and doing the things he loves nearly pain-free. The extra thought and attention Dr. Cole provided has saved my dad from countless surgeries and years of grueling rehabilitation. Dr. Cole is a talented surgeon and a thoughtful human - the ultimate combination for a physician and we can’t thank him enough.

RICHARD A. BERGER, MD - MIDWEST ORTHOPEDIC AT RUSH REVIEWS
I can't say enough about Dr Berger. He has now replaced both of my knees and one hip. I would not think of ever having anyone other than Dr. Berger for replacement surgery. The care before and after operation is top-notch and professional. The follow-up and pre-operation information is extremely thorough. His reputation in the industry is phenomenal. Thank you again for you improving my lifestyle.
Dr Berger is fantastic! I would recommend him to anyone looking for knee replacement surgery. I had both of my knees replaced by him and was able to get back in the pool and do my water aerobics classes 3 weeks after each knee surgery!
Dr , Berger is truly a gifted physician. Had both knees done, and I feel great, His staff is awesome !!!!! Always ready to help with any questions I had and refill any prescriptions needed. Excellent experience, thank you.
