Dr. David Raab, MD

This "doctor" is riddiculus. He made my ACL surgery but some time after something started to be wrong with my knee. When I showed him that my knee is completely unstable and weak he just said that he doesn't want to see me for next 6 months. Then another doctor found some post surgery problems because the first surgery wasn't made like it should be. Not recommended at all!

Exceptional attention to existing problems, and explanation of treatment. In my case, surgery was needed, and 2months later I am at 100%. He was never pushy with surgery and explained the different outcomes of doing surgery versus not. I would recommend him to family and friends.

I found him to be knowledgeable, personable and caring. He explained my problem and treatment options.

Several knee surgeries and shots. Right knee was mid 2017, great outcome. Left knee in late 2004 and again in early 2005. More complex surgeries than expected but excellent outcome. If I need anymore surgeries it will be with Dr. Raab as my doctor

Have been a patient of Dr. Raab's for years. I saw first him for two knee scopes with meniscus repairs. Than knee injections for pain. He told me knee replacement surgery was the next step & I would know when it was time for a knee replacement. After 9 years, I knew it was time. Dr. Raab explained in great detail about the knee replacement surgery & recovery. He even answered, as did his amazing staff, all of my many questions. I was up & walking with a walker about 4 hours after surgery. Was able to go directly home from the hospital where my amazing hubby took great care of me. For 2 weeks I had nurse's & PT come to my home than continued my out patient PT at IBJI in Des Plaines. Although I waited a year until knee #2 was done, I'm walking with no pain & have full range of motion in both knees. Although I can't kneel any more to garden, I have figured out a way to take care of my garden. Everyone asks who did my knees & I happily say, Dr. David Raab, IBJI.

Dr. Raab was HIGHLY recommended by a co-worker who had one knee replaced already and was going to need the other one replaced soon too. I went to see Dr. Raab for a second opinion to see if there were any other options before I committed to surgery. Dr. Raab also believed surgery was my only option. I am a Registered Nurse with many years of experience working with Orthopedic patients. When I heard the procedure could be performed as a outpatient I was then ready to commit. I had my Left knee replaced almost two years ago this month and I am EXTREMELY pleased with the results. My only regret is that I cannot kneel on that knee any longer and I love to garden, but I have managed to find alternative ways to continue to enjoy gardening and life. My knee replacement was a great decision. Thank you Dr. Raab and staff.

Dr. Raab and his staff are superior. He explained my torn meniscus knee surgery throughly and answered all my questions. I felt very comfortable that I had been given all the information I needed. I had no problems with my surgery or recovery, and my knee is still fine years later. I've seen him several times for bursitis in my hip also. He and his nurses are great at dealing with my fears of injections. His staff is also very good at communication and returning phone calls.

Not only is Dr. Raab an excellent surgeon, but also a warm, caring , thoughtful person. the same goes for his staff.

Dr. Rabb was extremely professional, described the surgery to me carefully and fully and post surgery supported me through rehab and recovery. I recommend him highly to patients requiring total knee replacements.

I am very happy with my results from surgery with Dr. Raab. He allowed me to go home after surgery with my super husband to care for me and the nurses and physical therapists to come to my house for 2 weeks. After that I went to the IBJI facility for continued physical therapy. Super happy now and out of pain!!

I endured knee pain for almost 10 years, the last 5 with an unloading brace that started with occasional use then became an every-day need. Dr. Raab had told me I would let him know when it was time. When I decided to go for the replacement he explained exactly what would happen, the day of surgery was very smooth, and they had me up and walking on the new knee within a few hours (probably not the norm). Recovery was as expected, the physical therapist kept pushing and I was walking somewhat normally within 6 weeks. When the time comes for the other knee, Dr Raab will be my first call.

I've used Dr. Raab 2 times in 17 years for different knee injuries. He did such an amazing job the first time that I knew to use him the second time for a different knee injury. Amazing work both times!!! I would highly recommend him!

exelent results very satisfied with dr raab

I am a long time patient of Dr. Raab, and he is someone I trust and respect. He is attentive and thoughtful, and I trust the recommendations he provides for my personal physical health. As a high school and then college athlete, I have had several serious injuries, and Dr. Raab has personally guided me through the surgery and recovery process.

Dr. Raab did an excellent job replacing both of my knees. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Raab and his support staff.

Great surgeon.....knee back to normal!!!!

Dr. Raab and his staff are exceptional. I had knee replacement surgery over two years ago and it feels great!

I saw Dr. Raab for a knee injury. While there are issues with my knee that might require further treatment down the road, Dr. Raab was able to provide pain relief and further diagnosis from my procedure. This has allowed for and excellent rehab outcome and knowledge for the future.

Dr Raab has performed several surgeries on my husband and I, all with great success. He is a superb doctor and his staff is amazing!! We would highly recommend him!

After walking with pain in my left knee for several years,. a friend recommended to me Dr. Raab, who eventually performed the surgery. After successful operation and excellent care by Dr. Raab and his staff before and after the operation, I decided to have also my right knee operated by Dr. Raab; gain with great success. Now I can walk without pain and I'm grateful to Dr. Raab for his excellent care.
