Welcome to OrthoIllinois!
I very much look forward to being able to provide your care and help you resume a more pain free and active life! I’d like to share a little background on how I came to be a total joint specialist and the focus of my practice.
I am a long-term Midwesterner, in fact my hometown is Tremont, Illinois, located southeast of Peoria in central Illinois. Growing up, I spent a lot of time working alongside my father, who was a carpenter by trade. I think my earliest influences for a medical career were piqued by my mother. As a nurse, she impressed upon me the difference medical care can make in people’s lives. I also learned the values derived from hard work by helping out on my grandfather’s farm.
As a youth, I also found time for competitive activities and was a three-sport athlete playing football, basketball and baseball. It was through playing sports and sustaining various injuries that required treatment procedures that I was first exposed to orthopedics. With a growing interest in how the body works and heals, I pursued my undergraduate degree in kinesiology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as a recipient of two scholarships and graduating with Highest Honors on the Dean’s List.
I followed my undergraduate studies at the University Of Illinois College Of Medicine at Peoria where I earned my medical degree as a Graduate of Distinction. I remained in Illinois when I was accepted by Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine Orthopedic Residency Program in Chicago where I completed both my internship and residency training. I then gained additional advanced training by completing an Adult Reconstruction Hip and Knee Fellowship at the University of Wisconsin Madison School of Medicine and Public Health.
During residency, I developed my interest in the orthopedic sub-specialty of total joint replacement. Of all surgical fields, I believe total joint replacement provides the best results and most importantly, not only provides patients with pain relief, but gives them back the lifestyles they love. As a hip and knee surgeon, I find it an honor and a privilege to return patients’ trust by giving them back the ability to pursue an active life.
In my practice, I have a special interest in outpatient and minimally invasive surgery, the Direct Anterior Approach for total hip replacement, and complex revision surgery. I strive to work with my patients to identify the best option for them, whether surgical or non-surgical treatment, to put an end to arthritic pain and return them to their normal lives once more.
When I am not treating patients, I enjoy playing with my chocolate Labrador, golfing, fishing, watching professional basketball, baseball, and football, and working out. My wife and I are serious foodies and enjoy just hanging out with friends and family.
Thank you for entrusting me with your care and I look forward to helping put an end to your hip and knee pain!
Dr Oyer put me at ease about my joint replacement plan. I feel so comfortable with him.
Good doc, personal makes you feel at ease, explains so even I can understand, welcoming smile and shows real concern for you. Bob Carlson saw him Friday June 27
Very straight forward and willing to discuss details Showed true concern which I appreciate
It was great meeting Dr Oyer I really appreciated how not only did he express his care for me as a person but also explained in detail about my issues.
He's confident and to the point.
Very nice man but I think I went on a day that they were very busy. He was only in the office less than three minutes and I had to wait over an hour to see him.
Dr Oyer is a great doctor. He takes the time to listen to you, answers all your questions and concerns.
Dr. Oyer is very personable and explains everything along the way.
He listened.
Dr Oyer is amazing. He did an excellent job on my knee replacement. I would never go anywhere else. He has an awesome team. Thank you! My life is better after my knee replacement.
