Dr. Lalit Puri, MD

Friendly, helped me feel at ease, very, very knowledgeable, he became my hero after our visit and planning! I am female, 73, and very, very active! He took the time to assess my body structure, my regimen, and who I am and shared what his plan for me would be. He and his staff are Team Amazing and do glad to have him in my corner! Highly recommend!!

I feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Puri. He did my first knee replacement in 2017 and although I needed the surgery badly, I was very anxious about it. He was so reassuring, answering all my questions thoroughly and honestly that I knew my knee replacement would be in good - make that great - hands. And it was! My knee is completely pain free. Since that first surgery, I have had both a hip (2019) and my other knee (2024) replaced - also done by Dr. Puri, of course. Again, I felt well-cared for and confident that my surgeries would go well - which they did. And should I need my other hip replaced, of course I'll choose Dr. Puri for my surgeon. I highly recommend Dr. Puri and his team for your orthopedic surgical needs.

Excellent patient care skills. Excellent communication skills. Exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful.

Dr. Puri is LAZY and he think he too good to examine my knee pain. He was with me for 3.5 minutes talking about that he is a surgeon and make me feel that he is not interested in my business but just there because he had no choice.

Pre-surgery hip replacement, surgery & post surgery was performed with expertise. I was back walking in a short period of time. I have been given my life back. The staff was helpful along my path to recovery from start to finish. I am forever grateful to have had such a wonderful physician.

Dr. Puri and his team performed a right knee replacement on me in July 2024, and I can’t say enough on how well it went. They have a well thought out system for pre-, during, and post surgery that guarantees success. I have never been so impressed by how much attention was given for each step. Not only was the surgery life changing, but the scar is barely visible- just a very thin line! I highly recommend Dr. Puri and his team- they are personable, skilled, and readily available for any questions.

It has been 2 years since my total hip replacement and I hiked in Utah and Alaska this summer. Prior to surgery, I could barely walk around the block without pain. Dr. Puri is absolutely the best. He is professional, knowledgeable, and always listened to my concerns and questions. His staff is kind and caring. I never felt rushed at an appointment. I cannot rave enough about this surgeon and his team!

I would like to take the time to thank Dr. Puri and his staff for the outstanding care they gave me when I had my hip replacement. Dr. Puri was very knowledgeable. He took the time to address my questions and concerns. Dr. Puri is is committed to patient care has a passion for healing!

The entire method and procedure of my total knee replacement (Mako) was extremely well designed and thought out - every detail. From the pre-op physical therapy, the vein specialist, CT scans, X-rays, it all had a purpose and was well done. The surgery was very smooth - a great team working well together. Home health care was arranged with a nurse visiting every other day and a home physical therapist on every other day - all showed genuine concern and care for my recovery. The follow up calls by the staff meant the world to me. And, although the nurse didn't advise it, and in fact stated they never had someone driving after just 3 weeks post-op, I did drive to get a newspaper and home again. While recovery is mainly dependent on the individual and their motivation, I had a great team getting me back to my life. I would do it again with Dr. Puri and staff!

I underwent total right knee replacement surgery with Dr Puri on April 18, 2024. The operation was more successful than I could have ever imagined. I have perfect range of motion and am able to walk pain free and cane free within less than one month of my surgery. This is entirely thanks to Dr Puri's skill and unmatched expertise in the operating room and the superb after care provided by his team. I strongly recommend him to anyone in need of knee replacement surgery.

From my first visit with Dr. Puri, I was immediately put at ease and impressed with him and his staff. His main nurse and PA were great as was the entire staff at Skokie hospital throughout the process. My surgery went very well and everyone I interacted with that day was fantastic. My recovery was very quick and quite honestly hard to believe how easy it all was. Thank you Dr. Puri for giving me my life back!

Dr Puri, Maria, Gerri and Kim and all the staffers are excellent. Their knowledge and professionalism is second to none. Even the transport people with who I only see to walk down the hall to a tech room were fabulous. Thank you for hiring people who seem to give a darn about their job and the people they are helping. I will HIGHLY recommend Dr Puri and team to all who may need their services. Congrats on having such highly regarded professionals on your team.

Superb support about cycling passion and did both hip replacements. Went for visit after aching following running w assurance imaging is fine, back care is my option for pursuit, and encouragement for my goal to train for upcoming 500 mile ride.I would rate him 10Stars if I could!

Dr. LALIT PURI by far one of the most professional orthopedic surgeons one can ask for. I had been experiencing knee problems for over 15 years and as a 32 year old Dr. PURI was my surgeon who took over my case and advised me that with my condition, a total knee replacement was the best and only option as I have exhausted all other treatment options. This was my last resort and Dr. PURI and his staff explained in great detail what was to be done and what I was to expect. Being this young I was honestly scared and the staff really knew how to go about showing me what was going to be done and prepared me as best as one could hope to be prepared to undergo such a life changing procedure. His staff nurse was amazing getting everything set up and prepared for a flawless procedure and assited me with getting the proper care after. Dr. PURI was extremely professional and exceed all my expectations and thanks to his fantastic work a year later my new knee is better then I ever expected. He is

Exceptional care provided by Dr.Puri and his entire clinical team. Highly recommended

Dr.Puri was highly recommended to me by his former patient to replace my hip. Surgery went well without complications. It has been 2 years after replacement, and I am deeply grateful to Dr.Puri’s skill and expertise to regain my normal life without pain and limitations - it truly is like getting a second chance on life with increased mobility.

Dr. Puri has done both a hip replacement and a full knee replacement for me. Both went very smoothly and Dr. Puri's calm manner and obvious expertise were most comforting. Kim and Marie in his office were extremely helpful and always very responsive. His PA, Andrew, was also very knowledgeable.

2 years after getting my second hip replaced by Dr. Puri I am running 20+ miles a week and lifting weights - all with no hip pain.

Dr. Puri came highly recommended by another orthopedic surgeon. I had hip replacement surgery (in my mid-50s) after suffering for years from what I thought was sciatica pain. I was very nervous about undergoing surgery, however, Dr. Puri had such a wonderful bedside manner. I felt completely confident on the day of my surgery. I was shocked that right after surgery my hip pain was gone and my recuperation has been so smooth, only taking pain meds during my hospital stay. The Northshore hospital staff was also outstanding. If you are suffering from hip pain, stop waiting and go see Dr. Puri. It's been life-changing for me!

My highest recommendation is given to Dr. Lalit Puri for his skill and expertise in Orthopedic Medicine. In 2022-2023, he replaced both of my knees using the MAKO procedure and I couldn't be more appreciative. His pre-op consultations were both informative and helpful. I never felt pressured into a surgical procedure to relieve the pain I had experienced for several years. There were other less invasive treatments that were first tried without much relief. Dr. Puri and his staff were always professional and gave me their undivided attention, willing to answer all my questions and explain the process thoroughly. After each surgery the team provided support at every stage of recovery. With that, recovery went very well. Thank you, Dr. Puri, for improving my mobility and my quality of life.
