Dr. Lindsay-Rivera grew up in Chicago’s western suburbs and attended Benet Academy in Lisle, IL for High School. He completed his undergraduate bachelor of science degree at Yale University in New Haven, CT in the field of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology where he graduated with magna cum laude honors and was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society. He thereafter completed his medical degree at the University of Chicago, Pritzker School of Medicine.
Dr. Lindsay-Rivera then went on to complete his general Orthopaedic Surgery training at the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, MI where he co-authored multiple publications and research works in the field of hip and knee reconstruction and won the Theodore Parsons III award for outstanding professionalism and leadership with respect to his clinical care.
Following residency, he sought subspecialty training in Hip and Knee Reconstruction at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic. Here, he learned more nuanced techniques to assist in delivering comprehensive care for patients with degenerative Hip and Knee conditions, focusing on the latest technology and cutting-edge methods for Hip and Knee Replacement. This included a focus on robotic-assisted joint arthroplasty, minimally invasive posterior and direct anterior approaches to Hip replacement, and experience in evaluating the painful Total Knee or Total Hip Replacement for consideration of Revision, or redo Joint Surgery.
When at home, Kevin enjoys spending time with his wife and mini-goldendoodle. He is an avid Chicago White Sox, Blackhawks, and Bears fan and enjoys traveling to the city to partake in its world-class food and museum scene.

Dr. Linsdly was very friendly. He answered all my questions and suggested a new procedure called iovera to help ease my knee pain
I was very impressed when meeting Dr. Kevin Lindsay-Rivera for my first appointment with him. He is friendly, caring, and compassionate. He took the time to answer my questions, and detailed a plan for my recovery.

Excellent
Excellent. Professional but friendly and very knowledgeable
Very pleasant and cordial. Looked at my knee and gave me a very good explanation of the condition. Very good job!
I give Dr. Rivera five stars! Really I give him 10 if I could. He took time, looked at my history, looked at my x-rays, ask the questions, and did a diagnosis that no other doctor has done! We loved how he was thinking outside the box, connecting the dots with my medical history, putting all the pieces together to plan how we’re going to move forward with my treatment! Instead of just doing a generic orthopedic appointment, he drew pictures to clarify the physical anatomy involved and made it clear in Laymans terms. At 76 years old, I have seen many doctors, but Dr. Rivera is a one of a kind in the way he thinks and went above and beyond with explaining to me and my husband. We,thank God that we were referred to him! He deserves 10 stars , a promotion, and a raise!!! Go Dr Lindsay Rivera!!
Very. Professional well. Spoken honest. Right. To. The. Point. Kind. I. Understood. Everything. He. Made. Sure. Of. That.
