Went to Dr Dewald and he wanted to make sure there would be as few surprises as possible before my surgery. My lower back is bad and found issues in the T areas Explains everything!

In my opinion Dr. Dewald and his staff were courteous and professional. Dr Dewald and his staff listened, and took their time with me. Which is unlike the typical Orthopaedics surgeon visit I’ve had in the past where you waited hours to see them and they are trying to get out of the room as fast as possible. Great bedside manner. Thanks Dr. Anthony M.

Doctor DeWald and his staff truly care for their patients. They are honest, caring, compassionate, and professional. As a healthcare professional myself, I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Christopher DeWald of Midwest Orthopedics at Rush

I am so grateful to have Dr. Christopher DeWald for my spine surgeon! He went above and beyond what was necessary for my last spine surgery, and an unrelated medical emergency I had a few weeks later! I trust him with my life, and would trust him with any of my loved ones! He listens, and takes plenty of time with his patients. You don't feel rushed, you know he cares about you and your welfare! He is very talented and an amazing surgeon.

Dr De Wald and his staff are very efficient and caring. He takes time to examine records and explain xrays and mri’s. He is very kind and makes sure we understand him when examining us.

I would trust my children's lives to Dr. DeWald. He and his team took excellent care of me when I had my last spine surgery. And when I had an unrelated incident 6 weeks later and ended up back in the hospital, he and his team checked on me regularly, making sure I was doing well!
