Summary

Dr. Eugene Lopez is a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon specializing in arthroscopic surgery, sports medicine, and total joint replacement surgery. He is also known for training other physicians in advanced arthroscopic knee, hip, and shoulder techniques.

He is one of the few physicians in the Chicago area who is Board Certified in Sports Medicine. Dr. Lopez believes many sports injuries are best treated conservatively with a personalized rehabilitation program, often allowing patients to recover faster and return to activity sooner without surgery.

For patients with arthritis of the knee, hip, or shoulder, Dr. Lopez uses a step-by-step conservative treatment approach first. If surgery becomes necessary, he prefers minimally invasive outpatient procedures whenever possible. He has performed more than 2,000 arthroscopic knee, hip, and shoulder procedures, contributing to his strong success rates in the Chicago area.

Patients benefit from:
  • Quicker recovery times
  • Smaller scars
  • Less time in the hospital
  • Recovery in familiar surroundings
  • Lower complication rates than the national average
Dr. Lopez is highly regarded by his patients for taking time to listen, explain diagnoses, and review treatment plans clearly. His former patients often serve as strong advocates for his care.

In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Lopez and his partner, Dr. Odell, serve as team physicians for Benedictine University and St. Viator High School. He also volunteers at Shriners Hospital for Children in Oak Park, Illinois, providing arthroscopic reconstruction services to children in need.

Dr. Lopez founded Midwest Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Surgical Specialists, Ltd. in 1990. His practice is known for its compassionate staff and family-oriented environment.

He has also been recognized in America’s Top Surgeons and America’s Top Orthopedists by the Consumer Research Council of America.
