Dr. Jeffrey Akeson, MD

Dr. Akeson clearly explained procedure, frequently asked about any discomfort during bilateral thumb injections done for rheumatoid arthritis every 3 months. Did not seem rushed during appt and answered all questions.

Very little waiting for Dr or testing. Convenient to have X-ray and mri in same building. Dr took his time and explained everything and then answered questions! So glad we found him!

Dr. Akeson is one of the best. He is caring, compassionate and takes time to explain things. I didn’t feel rushed. I’ve found the orthopedic physician I’m staying with.

Dr Akeson and his staff are all very caring and interested in listening to the patient. I would highly recommend him.

Knowledgeable and explains well and clearly!Staff is awesome.Very personable with great bedside manner!Surgical skills best for specialty!

he’s been my orthopedist for 23 years. He’s very patient gentle he explains everything well. he repairs what needs repaired but doesn’t go overboard and charge you for extra things that don’t need to be done. He’s such a soft-spoken wonderful man I wouldn’t go to anyone else.

Well. Top Notch. I'm glad he is my doctor. Lots of experience

Very professional, very thorough review of my symptoms and recommended treatment.

couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of my knee surgery, and choice of surgeon. Dr Jeffrey Akeson's expertise in the orthopedics, and professionalism are second to none in downstate Illinois. He has an amazing staff at the OSF hospital and in the Midwest orthopedics office. I'm 3 weeks post-surgery setting and breaking goals weekly while preparing to return to work. Once again thank you Dr Akeson

Dr Akeson has done both of my daughter's hip reconstructions and most recently spinal fusion and I cannot say enough about how amazing he is with my daughter's care!

Just completed my one Year review of a total knee replacement with Dr. Akeson and I continue to be impressed with his down to earth friendliness, his commitment to his patients wellbeing, and most importantly, his superb skill as a surgeon. He came highly recommended and he did not disappoint.

Dr Akeson has treated my daughter with OI for 14 yrs. We could not ask for a better doctor. He has always taken the time and listened to our concerns. He even delayed his vacation because my daughter needed surgery. You would be hard pressed to find a more compassionate doctor.

Waited for 3 months to see this doctor about my son's scoliosis. We waited for two hours for the doctor to come in the room. No patient file was ready and his office did not have the x-rays ready for him to look at. He barely examined my son and grabbed a piece of scratch paper to write patient notes on the back. Said he would make an appointment for a brace and to "call back in a week if we hadn't heard back to make sure they were doing there job". Who says that? I never heard back, shocker!

We took my son to see Dr. Akeson for three years for his scoliosis. Each time we were told they would brace or cast him "next time", only to have the next appointment come and no action taken. After three years we asked for a second opinion and were sent to Shriner's in Chicago. The very first visit it was determined that he needed to be put in a brace. We lost out on three years of spine correction! While Dr. Akeson is a very kind person, kind isn't enough when it comes to my child's care.

At the appointments he was very disinterested and a few appointments his physicians assistant came without him. One was my first checkup after my surgery
