I would like to take this opportunity to tell you more about myself and my experience in healthcare. I am originally from New York, New York and I earned my B.S. degree in biology at the State University of New York, Binghamton, in 1992. I continued my studies at the New York Medical College, obtaining my medical degree in 1996. Following my graduation, I completed an internship and pursued advanced orthopedic training as part of my residency at St. Luke’s – Roosevelt Hospital Center / Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City. In addition, I completed another year at a subspecialty training program, or fellowship, in hand and upper extremity surgery at the Washington University School of Medicine.
My practice is focused on diseases and disorders of the hand and upper extremity. It is my mission to provide all my patients excellent service, as well as compassionate care. I always strive to provide you the same high quality of orthopedic care that I would offer to a member of my family.
I have attended and spoken at numerous lectures, made presentations, and authored several orthopedic research papers and articles.
In addition to my extensive medical commitments, I enjoy digital photography, music, golfing, exploring advancements in technology and spending time with my family.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to further improve your experience at Ortho Illinois. My goal is to provide you the best medical care available.
I am looking forward to meeting you!

Amazing physician...amazing experience.
Very smart and knows his stuff.
Felt invalidated. Made it seem like what I was saying was incorrect.
While Dr Korcek was not rude, I feel he was condescending in the way he spoke to me. He asked me why I was there but didn’t listen to what I had to say. He offered pain drugs when I didn’t ask for them. He was more concerned with the arthritis in other parts of my hand than the injury I was there to see him for.
He was very helpful explaining everything very well and guided me step by step
I waited 40 minutes in the waiting room before the doctor seen me. I should’ve not had to of waited that long. I was late from picking up my daughter from work because of this.
The only negative thing I can say is he was running close to an hour behind schedule on appts. It happens sometimes. He is very professional and straight forward with your personal game plan to get you back to optimal health.
Understandable and polite
I would recommend Dr Korcek to anyone with hand, wrist, etc issues. He puts me at ease and explains everything easily for me to understand. Friendly, professional & knowledgeable!
Dr. Korcek and his staff were very good and explained everything to me
