Dr. Eric Szczesniak born and raised in the Midwest, fellowship-trained and board-certified joint replacement and revision surgeon joined Lakeshore Bone & Joint Institute in 2016.

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.

Dr. Szczesniak explained everything about my hip MRI and treatment plan, and answered all my questions. He is a good listener and has a kind personality.
I give Dr. Szczesniak the highest ratings… He is friendly… He explains things to his patients in language that they’ve understand and then let’s. Them ask questions.. Darla Clark

Took time to explain options. Answered all questions and explained all options.
Dr Szczesniak is very personable and caring. Staff was so polite and efficient, especially the girl who took me for my hip injection, she was so wonderful.
Kind, patient, explains everything.
