Dr. Rajeev Garapati, MD

After 7 weeks of pain in my hip, Dr. Garapati suggested 4 more weeks of p.t. and suggested I come back to assess my improvement. He never even asked me to walk or show him range of motion. I sought out another opinion and it turned out that I needed hip replacement surgery. Dr. Garapati would have had me enduring another month of pain before he determined that hip replacement surgery might be what I needed. I'll never seek out his opinion ever again.

A couple years ago I broke my leg and went , after initial visit at ER, to see Dr. Garapati . He quickly scheduled surgery to put a metal plate and …. 7 screws! I saw Dr. Garapati on Wednesday, surgery was scheduled for Friday. Somehow I managed in such a short time to schedule an appointment with another doctor at hospital on Tallcot Ave, Chicago. The other doctor did not even mention any surgery! He sent me home just with the booth ……. in less than 3 months I fully recovered. The bottom line is always get second opinion and by all means think for yourself! ….. and remember the famous quote:“Trusting your doctor can be lethal “

I had a broken hill surgery with dr.Garapadi. He is an amazing doctor. I highly recommend him for everybody. He is very thoughtful,carrying and and highly professional

Dr. Garapati was the the trauma surgeon assigned to me when an accident required emergency surgery on my broken hip. He is a skilled surgeon and I am healing and recovering well three months post op. My frustration has been his lack of interest in me as a whole patient. He never bothered introducing himself to me prior to surgery as I requested, and never followed up with me during my 3 day hospital stay, even though I repeatedly asked to see him. Bad form imo. When secondary complications/injuries occurred following surgery he seemed disinterested in devoting his time to the new injury. He was only focused on the healing of his specific surgery. This was a constant pattern throughtout my experience with him: tunnel vision focus without any concern for the residual effects of the trauma. Now I am left with a brand new orthopedic issue that he clearly didn't want to bother resolving when I visited his office recently for this express purpose.

Aside from Dr. Gerapati's medical expertise and treatment, his greatest gifts are his kindness, compassion and imparting hope in one's recovery. Surgery was recommended by the emergency room physicians after a terrible fall, injuring my upper arm socket with two breaks and a crack connecting the two fractures. Pain was awful, though through his patience and convincing me, I am two months out--still healing--avoiding surgery, which would have definitely lengthened my recovery time and my being out of work without a paycheck. Never underestimate the power of hope, especially from your doctor, in your healing recovery. There's no medical code for hope, but its value is immeasurable. Thank you, Dr. Gerapati.

When I broke my leg in June 2016, Dr. Garapati had done an excellent job with the surgery to put my leg back together. Recovery was faster than I had expected. I was down to one crotch in less than 2 months, and completely off the crutches in less than 3 months.

Dr Garapati repaired a non-healing fracture of my right upper arm about a year ago. Prior to the surgery, he took plenty of time with me explaining the situation and best options. dominant hand, I After some substantial rehab, I have regained total use of my (dominant) arm, have minimal to no pain and am very pleased with the result. I often remark to friends how the scar, which is quite long, is hardly noticeable and that Dr. G must have some plastic surgery skills!

Dr Garapati and his assistant are fantastic explain everything to you and really care about you recommend highly

My experience with Dr. Garapati was excellent. Very happy with my surgery. I was 66 yrs old at the time I tripped and broke my left ankle on both sides.

Dr. Garapati is a miracle worker. He saved my leg from being cut off by another doctor. He took extremely good care of me while in his care. His staff was extremely helpful and caring to my situation and very professional. I couldn't recommend Dr. Garapati and his staff enough. I didn't think that I would ever walk again after having 13 breaks in a very small area of my leg and 3 months later I was walking with a walking boot. Today, a year post surgery, I am walking on my own. Thank you Doctor.

A year ago, I was in an accident and needed to see a trauma surgeon. I met with Dr. Garapati. He was very knowledgeable, explained everything to me in so that I understood what I needed to have done. He was empathetic and very professional. I was comfortable with the surgery I needed to have to recover and get back to my athletic endeavors. My recovery following surgery was smooth. My recovery should have been 12 to 18 months but I was back to running after 8 months.

Dr. Garapati Answered all my questions and reassured me that I would have a complete recovery

Dr. Garapati's confidence sets your mind at ease. He takes the time to explain procedures and answers any questions. His PA, Emilie and nurse also provide excellent service.
