New patient After interviewing multiple Dr’s to diagnosis & give me treatment options for a bad meniscus tear on my knee, I found Dr Jorge Chala and his team at Midwest Orthopedics at Rush were top in the field, extremely kind, very through, knowledgeable and offered me several good choices for treatment. Some of which I was not even offered by other similar orthopedic providers. The state of the art facility is bright, modern and very cheery. The imaging equipment is state of the art, and the speed to get imaging done and into my appointment was remarkable and very short. Dr Chalas team was very nice, helpful and knowledgeable. I was also impressed by the orthopedic department on the first floor in the same building and the technician there he sent me to get fitted for stability off loading knee braces. Also, they have an Easy App to send questions to Dr. or his staff, or make or check for appointments. I know I?m in great hands with Dr. Chala, and his team at Rush. I?m keeping… fingers crossed the gel injections will work on me. J Rein - July 21, 2023
