Biography

Dr. Louis’ exceptional surgical skills are complemented by a personable style and dedication to the highest quality patient outcomes and satisfaction. He is a board certified orthopaedic surgeon and is fellowship trained in the area of trauma.

Additionally, Dr. Louis’ practice focuses on hip and knee replacements.

Dr. Louis is one of few surgeons in the Chicago area who performs total hip replacement using the Direct Anterior Approach.
