As always, Rush orthopedic doctors are the best in the Midwest. Dr Bush-Joseph's professionalism, bedside manner and experience is topnotch. He is my 3rd Rush Orth. Dr....Dr Bach, Beheery and Bush, couldn't be happier with them. I've sent 9 relatives to Rush Orthopedics over the years. I've paid for all of there medical school tuition with our surgeries..LOL

Seen within minutes of my scheduled time. Dr Bush-Joseph has an affable communication style. He is a good listener—a rare quality among some Orthopedists. The two injections in each knee seem to be working! The 2 injections seem to be working. I also appreciate the efficiency of the support staff,

I was highly recommended to go see Dr. Bush. I thought I was really bad, but after x-rays and examinations it’s going to be a very simple process he made me feel very comfortable. He answered all my questions and I would really recommend him.

The best, from PreOp to PostOp through PT Dr. Bush Joseph and his team communicate and set expectations clearly. He did my shoulder labrum and meniscus - I’m two weeks removed from my meniscus procedure and it feels better than it did prior to the operation already. Very thankful we crossed paths and chose him to get me back on the road to recovery.
