Took the time to talk with me and explain things others had rushed me through. I highly recommend Dr. Palitsis without reservation.

Dr. Palutsis saw me through 2 knee replacements with no problems. A very thorough and caring doctor who lays out every option in black and white. Miss him in Wilmette.

Finally, a doctor who will take the time to explain things clearly and carefully to you...not to mention the fact that my shoulder is now much much better

I have been to Dr. Palutsis for three different surgeries now. Every single time that I see him, he makes sure to sit down with me and here about what is going on in my life. He truly cares for his patients and that is why I went back to him two more times. I had two different ACL surgeries since 2008 and my knees are better than ever before. He is a fantastic bedside doctor and surgeon. I highly recommend him.

I had problems after ACL repair and needed another... while Dr. Palutsis does one type of repair, after consultation with other doctors, I would NOT recommend this procedure...it failed for me and now I have to have 2 more surgeries...one to remove the screws and have bone graft, another to repair the ACL that re-tore.
