Dr. Rolando Izquierdo brings a unique set of skills to McHenry County. Skills built upon solid and very diverse training opportunities. The son of Cuban immigrants, Dr. Izquierdo is fluent in both English and Spanish. He was born and raised in the Chicagoland area.
It was at the University of Cincinnati Hospitals, now known as University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where Dr. Izquierdo completed his residency that he developed his special interest in sports medicine. During this time, he provided coverage as a team physician for the University of Cincinnati athletic programs and for the Cincinnati Bengal NFL football team. As a result, he pursued additional advanced training by completing fellowships in shoulder and elbow reconstruction and in sports medicine at Columbia University at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City before launching his practice.
Dr. Izquierdo remains active in medical education and identifying best practice recommendations. He served as chairman for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons’ evidence-based medicine committee for the clinical practice guideline for the management of shoulder arthritis. He has served as invited faculty at the American Academy of Orthopedics to instruct surgeons from around the world in the latest techniques in arthroscopic and reconstructive shoulder surgery. In addition, Dr. Izquierdo was nominated and selected to join the prestigious American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES). ASES is an invitation-only society of just 420 leading national and international Orthopaedic surgeons specializing in surgery of the shoulder and elbow.
Dr. Izquierdo routinely performs a high volume of total shoulder replacements, reverse total shoulder replacements, arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs, as well as arthroscopic shoulder instability and labral repairs. He also performs sports-related elbow and knee surgeries.

Dr.Izquierdo is the Excellent
Dr. Izquierdo takes time to analyze his patients needs in order to provide the best care possible.
He is too busy. Im not sure he has the time to really look at the reports about the patients he is seeing.
He did my right shoulder surgery 2 yrs ago and I have 100% mobility. This time he operated on my left shoulder rotator cuff. I'm a Dental hygienist and I need my shoulders. Highly recommend Dr Izquierdo
Everything went great
Great bedside manner.
Very friendly easy to talk to. Made me feel comfortable
Awesome doctor
I was well cared for by Stephanie Leverentz, PA-C. This was my first visit. She took her time, and she explained all of my options. I really appreciated that she numbed the spot before my shot and I am hopeful that it will work.
Stephanie was awesome. Very kind, considerate, personable and extremely thorough in the exam and explanations. Excellent first time experience overall with OrthoMidwest!
