I would like to take this opportunity to tell you more about myself and my experience in healthcare. I am originally from Rockford, Illinois and I earned my B.S. degree, Summa Cum Laude, in biology at the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point in 2001. I continued my studies at the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Chicago, obtaining my medical degree in 2005.
Following my graduation, I underwent an internship at the Kettering Medical Center, Kettering, Ohio. In addition, I completed my Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Residency at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.

I frequently utilize advanced ultrasound guidance to attain the most accurate benefit from joint and soft tissue injections for my patient’s pain management. 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.
In addition to my extensive medical commitments, I enjoy running, camping, hiking and other outdoor activities, travel 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 in a comfortable, nurturing environment.
I am looking forward to meeting you.

This review has nothing to do with Dr. Enke as I never got to see him due to the machine that does the test was broken! I had to rate him to continue with the review thus a neutral rating! He will get a real review when or if I see him?
Dr. Enke is an amazing doctor. He is kind, thorough, professional and very precise. I feel very confident when I go in for an injection.

I highly recommend Dr. Enke. He took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly explained my condition and treatment options, and always treated me with kindness and respect. I never felt rushed or dismissed, and I truly appreciate the care and support I received throughout my recovery.
He was great. Thought the EMG was going to hurt but it was nothing.
The procedure was painless. I would recommend him to my family and friends. Thank you Doctor Enke for giving me a relief from back pain.
