- January 06, 2026 Words can’t express how thankful I am for the care I received from the entire team. Seven months ago, I came to Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush with a torn patellar tendon and overwhelming anxiety about how much my life was about to change. I was quickly matched with Dr. Cole, and after hearing stellar reviews about him and his team, I knew I was in good hands. From the moment Dr. Cole walked in and “autographed” my leg, I felt confident that he would take care of me.
After months of pain, throbbing, and some wonderfully brutal physical therapy sessions, my life has finally regained a sense of normalcy due to Dr. Cole. I returned to desk duty with the Illinois State Police in October and have been back on patrol since November. From the bottom of my heart—THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! My knee feels great and continues to get stronger every day.
