5.0 star star star star starExplained the process, procedure thoroughly. Was realistic in conveying how much pain there will be and how they use a combination of approaches to manage pain. Emphasized the follow up physical therapy plan and timeline with front loaded sessions tapering off over time.

5.0 star star star star starI had to get a cortisone shot in my hip this week. It is a painful shot, but Dr Sterba did everything he could to minimize the shot. I appreciate that so much. He knew I had anxiety about the shot and after he finished he sent in his nurse to check on me and bring me a glass of water. Dr Sterba is always very professional and I feel like I am in good care with him. I feel like he knows me as a person as he remembered I have an upcoming trip and asked me about it.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Sterba was professional and gentle as he examined my injuries, range of motion and pain points. He explained what he saw on the urgent care x-rays and the additional ones he had taken during our visit. He also ordered a CT scan to be further check a specific area that he observed in the x-rays. He seemed very thorough.

5.0 star star star star starThis was my second hip replacement surgery with Dr Sterba- before his involvement with Northwestern and currently 8 yrs later. He is not only an excellent surgeon but he is constantly involved with improving outcomes. His staff is just as professional as he sets the standards high
