What happens at a first visit in Lincoln Square?

Nothing about the visit changes because it is in the city. The history, the examination and the X-rays, which are generally taken in the office the same day, are the same as at the other two offices, and so is the plan at the end of it. What to bring and what to expect are on the Skokie page.

What to bring

  • Prior imaging · Any recent X-rays or MRI of the hip or knee, on a disc or available through a patient portal.
  • Operative reports · The report from any earlier hip or knee operation, and especially from an existing joint replacement that is being evaluated. It identifies the implant.
  • Your questions · A written list of what you most want answered.

Whether your insurance plan requires a referral before you are seen is covered on the joint replacement surgeon in Chicago page.

Second opinions in Lincoln Square

Dr. Harris sees patients for second opinions at the Lincoln Square office. Some have been told they need a hip or knee replacement and want another surgeon's opinion of the X-rays before deciding. Others have an existing joint replacement that has become painful, or has never felt right, and want to know why.

Bring the imaging. For an existing joint replacement, bring the operative report from the original surgery as well, since it identifies the implant. The joint replacement surgeon in Chicago page covers when to get a second opinion. The revision joint replacement page covers how a painful joint replacement is evaluated.
