He firmly believes in non-surgical treatments and that non-operative methods are successful in most cases. However, if surgery is required, Dr. Yi can perform the latest, most advanced minimally invasive arthroscopic surgeries available. His fellowship training was in sports medicine and his expertise is in shoulder, hip and knee surgery. He is one of the few surgeons trained in hip arthroscopy that preserves the hip joint using small incisions instead of the traditional large incisions that require longer recovery times. His training also includes the use of ultrasound for diagnosis and treatment, including ultrasound-guided hip injections.
Dr. Yi has presented his research nationally and has authored various book chapters in sports medicine. During his training, he gained experience in the treatment of collegiate and professional athletes, assisting with team physicians for the Chicago Bears, Chicago Fire, and the Chinese Olympic Volleyball Team.
Dr. Yi was born in Jeju, South Korea but grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida. He obtained his undergraduate degree in biology from Emory University and earned his Doctor of Medicine from Drexel University College of Medicine before completing his residency in orthopaedic surgery at Northeast Ohio Medical University. He then completed additional fellowship training in Orthopaedic Surgery Sports Medicine at the University of Chicago, where he trained in advanced, minimally invasive arthroscopic and open techniques.
Dr. Yi enjoys spending time with his wife and three sons. He also likes to fish, hike, and play soccer and volleyball.
Dr. Seung was very. Nice, he answered all my questions, It was a very a good visit!!
He was polite and prompt, but was rushed and didn’t initially listen to my main concern. He quickly read my chart when he sat down and he had a timer that went off during our visit even though he had barely been in the room. I had to repeat myself several times before he finally did a manual exam. He kept repeating my age and noting my mild arthritis as though that were the cause. Which it was not. I will go back to see him, but I just hope that he or FOI will understand that patients are not stupid and we do notice when we are being rushed and not listened to.
Dr Yi was extremely thorough, clear with his explanations and kind.
I saw his nurse practitioner he was great
