"When illness affects a loved family member it can have a far-reaching impact. For me, my own father’s illness and our family’s interaction with his doctors triggered my interest in a medical career. During his care, the valuable information his doctors provided us on his condition and next steps provided clarity and reassurance during a challenging time. It inspired me to want to be on that other side, to be the one to help other patients and their families with answers or laying groundwork for what was to come.
I began my training journey by attaining my undergraduate degree in Biology at Loyola University in Chicago and my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree at Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine, Midwestern University, in Downers Grove. I followed the attainment of my medical degree with internship and residency training in Internal Medicine at Rush University Medical Center.
I chose to specialize in Rheumatology because I enjoy the multi-system disease processes, the constantly evolving treatment options, and the opportunity to form strong physician-patient relationships. When a diagnosis is unclear, a Rheumatologist is often consulted, and I enjoy the process of analyzing a plethora of data and navigating grey areas. I gained this further specialization through a Rheumatology Fellowship at Rush University Medical Center.
Today, in my practice, I provide osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and auto-immune disease care, with a special interest in rheumatoid arthritis and gout.
I believe in fostering a strong patient-physician relationship based on mutual trust, respect, and knowledge. Given the extensive treatment options now available for systemic autoimmune diseases and the unique experiences and goals of each patient, I have found that this partnership improves satisfaction and understanding for both me and my patients.
I look forward to partnering with you to help you achieve a more active and symptom-free lifestyle."

Very personable. Was open to answering all of my questions (and I had a lot of them)
This doctor is awesome. I’ve been searching for years to find a rheumatologist who treats the whole person. This doctor is incredible and takes your concerns seriously. He is experienced, compassionate and dedicated to making his patients get optimal health care to make them feel good again. He’s the real deal!!
Super kind and patient. Provided lots of information and asked lots of questions. Seemed very genuine and caring.
I definitely recommend Dr. Orentas!
Very professional
Very friendly pleasant to talk to and very helpful
Dr. Orentas actively listened to my situation, answered all my questions, and was very knowledgeable. I felt like I understood the next steps clearly and was comfortable with his plan of action.
Dr Orentas was very thorough, patient, and caring. He took the time to ask for a history and give consideration to the patient and provide suggestions for next steps.
Dr Orentas was very friendly and really took his time going over what I was going through and examining all the joints that I was having issues with. New patient that was hesitant to drive so far but Dr Orentas and his entire staff were very supportive and friendly.
Very nice listen to what's going on and took time with me
