Wanting a career focused on the service of others, Dr. Szczesniak attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in Champaign, Illinois, for his undergraduate education. Much of that early education was spent in engineering courses. While attending Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, Illinois, his mechanical background and engineering passion led him to an orthopedic surgery specialty.
Dr. Szczesniak continued his training through an orthopedic surgery residency at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Illinois. There, he developed a strong interest in total joint replacement, which proved to be the ideal field to combine a highly technical engineering proficiency with the ability to improve a patient’s quality of life. Dr. Szczesniak then completed his fellowship at the Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics in Baltimore, Maryland, where he learned from the most challenging cases and honed his skills.
In his free time, friends and family are a priority, but he still finds time for his interest in aviation and related hobbies as well as running to stay active.
Very attentive. Listened to what I had to say, and then gave me his diagnosis.
Explained everything that was going to take place and answered all my questions.
He explained my options and took his time with my appointment
Great
Very caring doctor. He takes time with the patient.
Eric and his team is the only way to go, torn meniscus, at 6:00 am, and no pain, problems or Complaints. Thank you. Finally out of pain. Eric, it’s 3:48 pm same day
Dr. Sez is very knowledgeable and personable. He has treated me 100% first class since day one!
This was my second appointment with him. I had hit a utility pole 1 yr prior,insurance cancelled had a very traumatic time already. First visit I was running 5 min late called office prior, He seemed upset I was 5 min late he was very fast to the point, ordered ct scan therapy I didn’t go to therapy because I felt something was wrong I’m in pain due to my rt hip all the time. Today’s visit concluded he’s a rude Dr. He doesn’t know how to talk to patients and I felt he listens the same not very good. He doesn’t want to replace my hip because he feels I wouldn’t go to my follow up appts etc. If he’d listened he would know I had no health insurance at time of auto accident ,my follow appts from surgery’s were taken place in Chicago I could not find anyone to take me I was fortunate to make it to 3,1 was surgery. Finally got insurance February of this year 2024.
Great doctor!
Terrible bedside manners, and left the office with more questions than answers. Not impressed at all.
