Nickolas Garbis, MD, AAOS 6800 North Frontage Road, Burr Ridge, IL 60527

"First of all, Dr Garbis is a fantastic doctor. I had a total shoulder replacement on July 21, 2021 and I can't imagine any doctor doing a better job than that which he did. Dr Garbis was recommended by my family doctor who had shoulder surgery done by him. He told me he was "the best of the best" and I would certainly agree with that. My operation and recovery was not nearly as bad as I had anticipated. The pain was minimal and the recovery was so quick everyone, including myself, was amazed. As far as seeing Dr Garbis at this facility in Oak Brook, I am happy to go there. Parking is convenient and the waiting time has been negligible. I am very grateful to Dr Garbis and the Loyola facilities for the very positive experience I have had concerning my shoulder surgery."

"Dr Garbis did a great job of explaining to me my problem and options to solve. We agreed on an injection and later physical exercises. The injection of cortisone has worked very good so far. His entire staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. MY shoulder feels the best it has in 5 months."

"Dr. Garbis is a phenomenal surgeon. When attempts to repair my shoulder proved unsuccessful, we decided to do a replacement. Shoulder replacement is a complex procedure requiring not only a good surgeon but a surgeon that understands the mechanical operation and is capable of engineering a good solution. My situation added complexity with age, a heart condition, and the associated blood thinner. Dr. Garbis proved exceptional in every area. Before selecting Dr. Garbis I did extensive research. First, everyone in the medical field that knows of Dr. Garbis chose him over all others. Next, his track record is second to none. He is highly recommended by all that know him, and now I know why! Finally, two of my friends, and multiple online reviews revealed that typical rehabilitation to restore normal function takes six months to a year. At three months I was able to ride my motorcycle and do anything I wanted. Now, at six months, I continue to exercise and stretch my new shoulder, but I’m completely pain-free and totally satisfied. Thank you Dr. Garbis. If this seventy-five-year-old body needs any more parts, you’ll be the first person I talk to."

"The facility checks temperature and asks pertinent questions at the entrance. Excellent! All areas I observed appeared clean and all people I observed were wearing masks or proper PPE. Excellent! Facility staff are helpful, courteous, prompt. Excellent! Staff specific to the Orthopedic office are helpful, attentive, and professional. Excellent! Dr. Garbis is thorough, thoughtful, engaging and absolutely first-rate in his assessment and execution of the orthopedic shoulder surgery in which he specializes. Pre- and Post-surgical care has been top notch throughout."

"Had to get a shoulder replacement at 28 and Garbis took amazing care of me, we tried the less intrusive options first, but I inevitably had to get the replacement. The after care he provided was also amazing."
