Dr. Roger Chams, MD

Went and saw him for knee injury. Took great amount of time with me, and went above and beyond what he needed to. This shows what kind of doctor he is. Will always consider him a great friend. Thanks for taking such great care of myself as well as my wife.

Highly recommend consulting with Dr Chams and his staff for an injury sustained to your knee. From the pre-op to surgery and post-op appointments, his team is very thorough, personable and have great bedside manner!

I found Dr. Chams to be extremely dismissive. If you are looking for comprehensive care, I would recommend another surgeon. My initial office visit entailed a 1 hr 40 min wait; a sign of things to come. After my wait, Chams spent all of maybe 3 minutes of his time with me where a mri was ordered. Our second visit was maybe 3 minutes as well, where surgery was recommended to repair my rotator cuff. Day of surgery, he never checked in with me, nor did he post operation. He did manage a call to the waiting room to say things went well post-surgery to my family. Post-surgery documentation was a joke. I received 2016 documentation regarding prescribed medication, my surgery was 2021. No documentation as to what was actually prescribed or dosing information. "Read the label" was the note. Very little post care documentation: what was provided was not written for a patient. All post-care was delegated to his several physicians assistant’s, none of whom were consistent.

Dr. Chams was helpful throughout the entire process of my diagnosis and surgery on my shoulder. The surgery was successful, and I was able to get back to doing everything I was able to do prior to injuring my shoulder.

I absolutely love Dr.Chams. I have had many surgeries and Dr.Chams was the best surgeon as far as making me feel heard, showing concern for me as a human being, and taking the best care of me. He talked to me to make me comfortable before and after my surgery and called my parents once surgery was done to tell them everything that happened. He was so personable and diligent. Truly the best surgeon I’ve had!!!!

Excellent surgeon for ulna and rotator cuff repair and replacement. Great team! Not pushy so ask many questions and don’t defer surgery!

Dr. Chams and his Team provided great care and direction for my shoulder surgery. I would highly recommend his services. From the start, they told me everything to expect, including the PT time and exercises required to get back to full strength.

Dr. Chams came highly recommended to me by my primary physician. Now I totally understand why. He is definitely a very skilled surgeon. And his team is top-notch. I appreciated his straight-forward approach in explaining the process and the work (physical therapy) involved on the patient's part, for a rotator cuff repair. I would definitely recommend him to others. Also anyone having this done needs to make the personal SIX-month commitment to take their rehab seriously by working with the PT and following their exercise program. This was a team effort: a great surgeon, a dedicated physical therapist and a dedicated patient! Thanks to Dr. Chams, his team and everyone at Illinois Bone and Joint institute for being there for me.

Great Team providing Great care.

The Best. Great surgeon, Great Staff. Attenuative to all of my concerns. Takes the time to listen, create a plan of care and execute it. Was able to get back to all of my activities. Highly recommend entire group. Have referred family and friends already.

Horrible post surgery follow up. Out of control pain for 2-1/2 months. Chams referred me two 3 different Drs, all who said HE should be treating this. Chams and staff don't want to hear anything other than everything is wonderful. Had to get a different ortho to manage my recovery.

I had a global tear in my left rotator cuff. Dr. Chams did the surgery and then gave me strict instructions on what I had to do to recover completely. It was not easy to follow those instructions and go through the PT, but I did it. I also did everything the therapists at IBJI told me to do, including doing my exercises at home 2-3 times a day. My physical therapy took 7 months. I not only have full use of my left shoulder, but I never have pain. Dr. Chams knows exactly what he is doing, but the patient has to do what he tells you to do if you want a complete recovery.

Everything was great with Dr. Chams. He has helped me return back to play faster than was expected. He has been nothing but help to my family and I!

It is no joy to see your 15 year old take an unnecessary hit to the knee during a H.S. football game. Dr. Chams was our Guardian Angel as he was there at the football game, attended to my son immediately. He spoke to my husband and I, explaining the suspected diagnosis, that he would ice it, give him crutches and schedule a Smart MRI vs. the expensive trip to the hospital via ambulance that night. Dr. Chams was very Caring and Knowledgeable. He performed a very successful Meniscus surgery.

Dr. chams corrected both my right and left rotator cuff tears and a right bicep reconnection. I’m now back to hitting the golf ball 325 yards. He is the best !

I saw Dr Chams after receiving sub par treatment from 2 other orthopedic surgeons for a shoulder injury. Dr. Chams was knowledgeable, caring, and did not rush into surgery. He referenced many studies to back up his decision. He referred me to a high quality physical therapy clinic. However, therapy was not enough. Dr. Chams then performed a manipulation procedure that along with therapy resulted in a full recovery with normal range of motion, strength, and function. I cannot recommend Dr. Chams

Im a 55 year old marathon and ultra marathon runner that NEVER had knee issues. In October I felt a “pop” and knew something wasn’t right. I reached out to a friend in the “industry” for a referral for an orthopedic surgeon. Without hesitation I was given Dr. Chams name. I made an appointment for evaluation, MRI and X-RAY. One week later I was in for a surgery on my torn meniscus. Dr Chams and ALL his staff went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and at ease.

I sought a second opinion from Dr. Chams when my issue wasn't resolved by another orthopedic and I felt that I wasn't getting the best treatment. After reviewing my scans and the various things I had done to correct my problem he suggested surgery which my previous ortho didn't want to do. Turns out my problem was a little more than the scans let on. Dr. Chams fixed the issue & I haven't had problems since. Dr. Chams also fixed my husbands shoulder as well.

Quite frankly I wouldn’t trust another Dr. with my Orthopedic care for myself or my family.

Dr. Chams and his staff are excellent in all phases of patient care. Starting with the preop through the final visit
