Tom Stanley, M.D.

Very personable and listed options for dealing with my problem in a systematic way

I was a little worried about getting on the table, but Dr. Stanley and the team were really helpful and positively encouraging and they did a great job.

Quick, efficient, and friendly.

Dr Stanley is a great listener & very easy to talk to. Would highly recommend him!

Calm, knowledgeable and patient! Surgery being planned and he will do it leaving me amazing! 🙏🏼

He listened and answered my questions so I could understand

Great doc, personable, compassionate, competent and gets the job done.

Great Personality, easy to talk and ask questions about my cervical spine pain, issues and my concerns! Was very nice and patient with me! Very strong 💪🏼 grip! lol 😂 seriously, he’s very knowledgeable with down to earth and knows exactly what to do and tells me the truth!! I may not like some of it, but I dislike not being surprised! Thank you, for being in this group! I feel so much better, after talking to him about my having to move forward with what I was told there was no other options! Surgery! I’m okay with it now! Still scared 😱 but understand much more than I did and will continue to pray and move forward in my new journey after he is able to rescue, and revive my spinal cord from being crushed and losing my my feelings in my arms and hands that are tingling all the time! He made me feel comfortable and I trust him, which is very hard for me to do! That says a lot!

Muy buen Doctor

He was very good and explained everything to me in depth. Took time with me to be sure I understood. Explained fully my recovery options. Great.

Spent time with me and answered all of Vo my questions

Great doc with good insights.

Dr Stanley is amazing. He took his time with me and after all said and done I was very confident with his thoughts on getting me better.

He was thorough when explaining what needs to happen moving forward with my issue. While I'm nervous about having surgery, I look forward to hearing more down the road from Dr. Stanley. I felt a certain amount trust with our first meeting.

Dr. Stanley is looking down his nose at the world. He acts as though he can do no wrong, takes no responsibility for his actions and downplayed my pain from the moment I met him.

I have complete confidence in Dr. Stanley's skills and treatment of my spinal issues.

Dr Stanley is amazing. He is very professional and kind. He listens to any questions I might have and is concerned to make sure I get the necessary relief for pain. Wouldn’t see anyone else.

Dr. Stanley thoroughly goes thru all problems and issues and answers all concerns.

Very professional excellent doctor nothing but courtesy when I’m there

Through somewhat limited interaction with Dr. Stanley (2 visits), he was very comprehensive and thorough. In our times now, when all of medical is overwhelmed, it’s nice to see somebody that really takes the time to understand my case.

I would like to have a little more time

Always very personal and explains everything in detail thanks

He has been right on about all elements of my medical conditon. Also easy and pleasant communication.

He was very compassionate and he listened to my concerns and answered my questions and his doing what he can to help me with my pain,

Wow, we continue to be impressed with Dr Stanley’s ability to listen to his patients and to provide reasonable medical solutions. Thanks Doc!

He really listens and tries to do his best to help you and never dismisses your concerns

Excellent doctor great guy. Gets right to the point. I like that. My only concern is I think he should spend a little bit more time with the patient because he seemed rushed. Overall tho zi feel very comfortable with him that he’s an excellent doctor and knows his shi*t!!

ne

Very cordial, covered all my concerns

This doctor is upfront & says you just need to exercise the rest of your life And is not pushing any kind of surgery or even a shot of Cortizone

Great guy, cares a lot, doesn’t panic the patient.

He's very informative and very helpful and very nice

Very efficient and trustworthy

learned a lot about my back problems! very informative

Dr. Stanley is an awesome physician. He did my back fusion last year and from the first visit to my last visit following surgery, Dr. Stanley explained everything in detail, the visits were not rushed, after care was great. I may need another fusion and have seen Dr. Stanley today. He is not pushing surgery. He ordered more tests and when I follow up we will see what the next step is. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Stanley to anyone with back/spine issues. I am so glad I have Dr. Stanley as my orthopedic doctor.

Outstanding doctor. Always personable and answers all questions. I would refer him to all family and friends.

Dr Stanley is not only a great doctor he's a great man!! He's compassionate, he listens try to continue the trial date he understands what you're going through..I couldn't ask for a better doctor..we need more doctors like Dr Stanley!! I have nothing but good things to say about him.,🤝

Always treated very well by Dr. Stanley.

Dr. Stanley was a very friendly and knowledgeable Dr. who suggested giving the body some time to heal itself before trying more invasive procedures. Considering how important the spine is, we liked his approach. After the fracture heals, PT of the back muscles will be done to help strengthen the back.

Dr. Stanley is a wonderful Surgeon who listens to his patients and takes a conservative approach to his procedures. His demeanor and personality are both friendly and very professional. He and his entire team are wonderful to deal with! He resolved a fourteen month spinal injury ordeal I was going through due to a serious ATV accident. It was a long journey requiring two surgeries and I am now pain free and able to resume my life as normal. I had the right Surgeon at the right time and I’m so glad he was able to successfully resolve my injuries!

Dr. Stanley was up front and honest with my condition, but a little more time I feel could have been taken. Overall check in process is very well coordinated and office is extremely patient friendly.

Pleasant, understanding, informative

Long wait

He is a wonderful surgeon

Dr Stanley is fantastic. He listened to my concerns, discussed my condition in detail, theorized the problem and formulated a non-invasive treatment plan. After months of frustration I finally feel heard.

Excellent care and understanding of my needs. I highly recommend!

Always seems to have lots of time for his patients and explains everything so well. He’s wonderful

He is so helpful!

He always listens and never makes his patients feel like he is too busy. Very creative w solutions as well. He did great job on my spinal fusion. I highly recommend him

Very professional and explaining the entire procedure

He saw me for 3 minutes and then referred me to other doctors. He barely checked me.

Very friendly and caring.

I felt very Comfortable with him...he wants to help me get better

Explained everything that was going to happen. Felt at ease.

He had all the information about case when he came in the room. When my wife asked a certain question he paused was silent and I answered. It was as if we read each other's mind. A very perceptive man.

I got lucky. Very optimistic at this point Thank you, doctor.

Was a pleasure to meet Dr. Stanley. Very kind and detailed. Dr. Stanley took the time to answer all of my questions. Appointment was not rushed.

Great Doctor with awesome bedside manner. Can’t say enough good things about him!!

At this first meeting I found him to be honest and forthright in describing my issues and what could be done to alleviate the pain. He explained the surgical procedure, minces no words about the early recovery period, but offered compassion and hope for the future. He listened to and answered all my questions.

Dr. STANLEY is personable and efficient. Also conservative and direct, hopefully he will be one of my favorite doctors.

We appreciate Dr.Stanley’s advise and guidance.

We appreciate the time he took to answer all our questions. As a concerned adult child I appreciated the fact that he listened to my mom and addressed her concerns.

He is very professional, yet, explained my spine in a way we could understand.

Explained a lot and very personal.

Professional, took time to explain surgery procedure and went over the MRI results.

I have been in extreme back pain for 30 days. Dr Stanley gave me the Best Care I could have ever received. He is compassionate and did everything in his power to help me feel better.

He talks directly with me and answered so all my concern. He’s a gem. Thank you

Dr.Stanley has been an excellent physician in my opinion, he has a great bedside manner, he's been concerned with my medical condition from the beginning, his staff is also top notch, and very professional

I went there with a middle and lower back pain and he said he couldn’t do anything and to go to the gym and exercise. Basically he said go home and deal with it.

He did address my main complaint about my lumbar pain. I did provide a current MRI of the thoracic spine where I also have scoliosis but I failed to ask about treatment and he did not ask about it. I would definitely recommend him.

Straight forward and personable.

Great guy!! Knowledgeable, friendly, caring, and very smart. My back surgery was a success, and now I have my life back.

Good listener.

Excellent surgeon

Waited a hour

Excellent

I needed more info

Very caring, got right to the point.

THE SURGERY HE DID ON MY SPINE HELPED ME 100% WITH THE PROBLEMS I HAD. THANK YOU SO MUCH......GOD BLESS YOU

Dr. Stanley is a brilliant doctor who actively listens to you and provides solutions that are in your best interest in the long run. One character I admire the most is his ability to provide a “give it to you straight” answer to your questions or prognosis. I would recommend him and I have in the past. Great work Dr. Stanley, keep it up!

Trustworthy, Knowledgeable, Prompt, Communicative, Factual, Great representative of OrthoIllinois.

A+

Very personable and explained clearly and was very patient!

Told him what was really wrong

Very detailed and clear explanation on what was the problem, and the available options . No pressure just suggestions. 👍

Dr. Stanley spent all of 5 minutes wth me and seemed to be in a hurry to see the next patient. I had brought my MRI imaging with me but he never brought it up on a monitot to g

Excellent doctor. Very informative and kind.

The best! Cares about you and is a genius!

He is a great listener and offers multiple solutions,. He is also patient and not push I into something you are not ready for. Encourages patient to do their homework and come back to discuss the plan. Very very helpful

Dr. Stanley did a spinal fusion on me and I am so much better. He is very friendly, listened to my concerns. I definitely recommend Dr. Stanley to anyone who has back or spine issues

Didn't listen. Couldn't get out of the room fast enough. I won't be back.

Very professional, listened to my issues, showed concern and worked out a plan to move forward

Dr Stanley is very easy to talk through issues and great at explaining the medical situtation at hand.

Very nice and strait forward

Great Doctor!!!

I have been going to him for years and have always been impressed by his need to always have the interest of his patients first and foremost of his concern for their total health. So grateful for his caring ways and professionalism. And so blessed for his service.

He is patient and kind. He listens and asks questions until everyone is on the same page. I finally feel hope again

Knowable personable

One of the best experiences we have had with Ortho Il

He was very personable, and didn’t beat around the bush about me having surgery. He explained in detail the surgery, made sure I understood everything. He was awesome

Seemed very attentive. We'll see how my surgery turns out.

Excellent and explains everything thoroughly.

Dr. Stanley truly listens to his patients and understands their concerns/needs

Dr. Stanley provided a caring and professional service for which I am very grateful. His staff needs additional customer service training. I would definitely recommend Dr. Stanley.

Dr. Stanley is always professional and listens to my concerns!

Great Doctor

Dr Stanley was great! I went to him for a second opinion and he took the time to explain everything to me thoroughly. He was friendly and personable. I am glad I got a chance to talk to him.

Dr. Stanley's office was very efficient and welcoming from the person that checked me in, the second person that took my information. Dr. Stanley was amazing and put me at ease about my concerns. He was very friendly and professional at the same time. I highly recommend him and his staff!

Dr. Stanley listened to my concerns and we worked on a plan

Appreciate him taking me from Dr. Thind. Communicated well and encouraged me. Very good session and he pointed out I was blessed with healing.

Quick and efficient. Explaining steps along the way

Appreciated the efficiency and caring & compassionate attitude of the staff

We felt like Dr. Stanley was very knowledgeable and explained all the information well.

This photo does not look like the doctor I saw.

Very very nice doctor and very honest

Dr. Stanely is an incredible surgeon. Not only are his skills top of the line, but his personality is as well. He makes you feel at ease and explains everything with clarity and understanding. I'm so glad I chose him for my neck fusion surgery. His work was perfect, including the scar! No one notices my scar until I point it out. A brilliant surgeon to say the least.

A very efficiency doctor

Very professional. Dr Stanley took his time and listened to me and took action on the test I need.

Friendly and courteous. Took time to explain and answer questions.

Dr. Stanley was kind and courteous, but I had a hard time following his diagnosis of just what causes my back pain. When I asked again, I still had a hard time, but I didn't ask any more questions, as I sensed that he was eager to get to the next patient. Before I was called in to see Dr. Stanley, I noticed that another person was called in to see him just a minute or two before me. Now that I remember that, I realize why he needed to get to that person -- scheduling issues. I would have appreciated it if the doctor had the time to sit with me and perhaps draw a picture of what happens in my back when it hurts.

I have been a patient at the doctor’s previous practice as well and glad he and some of my other doctors are now at OrthoIL.

Very good

Highly competent. Listens

Always caring and concerned. Excellent surgeon

Dr. Stanley is personable and genuine. He is thorough and clear in his explanation of options for treatment. He takes time to listen to my concerns and assures me they are baseless according to the research, easing my mind.

I’ve been blessed to have found a doctor as caring ,educated , and wanting to take his expertise to a higher level. With every time I have had the experience of visiting I’ve felt this change in his involvement with my care. Just knowing I can’t be the only one aware ,that this connection comes from a higher power. In Thanks.

Hes the bes tin the area!!! Fixes what is promised and has excellant personality. Never had such s grest surgeon

He was very late with his telecom appointment No I am sorry He left a message and forgot to hang up, so we heard him talking to the nurse and pa that called first and second and some joking in the room. We were on the phone with your receptionist who went above a bond for. But the 3 of them were talking so much they wouldn’t answer the phone. We were on hold listening to doctors message on our voicemail he said tried calling will call back, but forgot to hang up message went on for over 3 minutes. Then when on the phone very condescending about meds and care. We will be finding a new doctor and will not return I understand doctors are busy but so are the patients and there care giver. A little kindness I am sorry some listening. Perhaps you have your doctors too busy to really care about what is best So very disappointed

He’s the best doctor I’ve ever seen!

Extremely professional physician.

VERY PROFESSIONAL & UNDERSTANDABLE & CARING

Super nice guy

excellent and very personable!

Only had my first appointment. So far, so good.

he didnt spend much time with me, Someone forgot to submit a RX to my pharmacy , as I was in severe pain, to be surprised after office hrs, there was no RX.. One more day of pain

So happy that Dr Stanley fixed my neck can’t say enough about how good he is

Nice guy. Personal and highly qualified. Would recommend to anyone. I can walk upright with absolutely no pain.

Dr. Stanley is a knowledgeable educated best doctor and cares very much about helping his patients. He's the best!

Very good explaining thinks and taking his time

Best orthopedic surgeon I've ever had!!!

Excellent Care. Would recommend him

He explained procedure to me in terms I could understand and answered all the questions that I had. Feeling comfortable going ahead with surgery.

Excellent! Tom Stanley is a great doctor. Thank you!

Positive and welcoming first office visit experience. Dr. Stanley reviewed my x-rays and provided me options for treatment.

Went over my options

I was pleased Dr listened to my concerns. Made good suggestions for treatment options

Very attentive, Polite bedside manners, and completely thorough which helps an anxious patient like myself, feel comfortable.

Always top notch. Took the time to listen to my issues. I highly recommend this Surgeon.

verry good

Doc seemed very rushed and that was disappointing. My Dad had many questions.

Very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and willing to listen to the patient.

He is just great. We followed him from his former office.

Dr. Stanley ALWAYS keeps his patients best interest at the forefront. He listens and is very caring. He was the first Dr. after many over 6 years who believed me and helped me to feel better.

Dr Stanley is exceptional in skill and his ability to thoroughly explain options, including non surgical, and effects and recovery times. EXCELLENT!

Dr. Stanley was not in a hurry, and carefully and thoroughly explained each option in a manner that was very easy to comprehend. It was truly a great consult.

Staff very polite and professional.

Upfront and honest!!

first visit with dr stanley~very impressed...informative personal... took the time to explain my condition to me...

Fantastic surgeon. Caring and grateful listener.

Very personable and understanding.

Very pleasant an a excellent doctor

Very personable. Took time explain thoroughly and at a layman’s level. Good “bedside” manner.

Always pleasant and efficient.

Dr Stanley is a great doctor and treats his patients with care!!!

Personable , detailed and caring. He did back surgeries for my Husband and Myself . Very pleased.

Very personable, and answers all my questions.

Dr. Stanley was professional, but personable.

Total confidence in him.

Friendly,professional and patient! An excellent Doctor????

I felt he was very honest and explained my options well. Did not push surgery as the only option.

Did a great job of explaning the procedure and expectations. The incision had minimal scaring and the pain is gone.

After many weeks of delay and great difficulty getting the MRIs completed, we waited for an hour past the appt. time to see Dr. Stanley. His initial assessment in January 2020 was very positive and he was warm and encouraging. This visit, 7-21-20, he was very late, perfunctory, and seemed like he hadn’t even looked at the MRIs which we brought over days before the appt. so that he could review them. It seemed that he did not realize that I was there for a complete re-evaluation of my condition! He briefly looked at the MRIs and said nothing could be done and I might try to continue physical therapy. No direction for further action. 10 minutes at best. Since the CDs of the MRIs were there five days before the appt., he could easily have set up a brief phone conversation to deliver his (non) assessment instead of having me come to the office at a time that he was clearly overbooked. Not to mention COVID-19 complications. Very disappointed!

This was my last visit today and I feel like new. Thank You, Dr. Stanley.

He, Dr. Stanley, is the best. I am free of horrible pain, thanks to him.

Told me truth nit BS

He is really really brisk and has auctually left with out saying goodbye, just got up and left. He needs to be a lot softer in his approach-you cannot relate to him even though he is talented.

Dr . Stanley listening to my complaint of pain. I received a cortisone injection. I have less pain now.

Doc has extremely great "bed side manor" Works together, gets your input so to develop a great plan where both of you are comfortable. I am looking forward to get this body back up and running more like the younger model I used to live within using Doc's expertise, talent and vitality.

The office is incredibly organized, patients are seen on time and the apppointments with Dr Stanley allow for questions and straight, honest answers. I am a very pleased patient

Thoroughly explained what to expect; answered questions/concerns; surgery went perfectly; outcome was optimal. I am free of pain after MONTHS of excruciating agony.

Doctor Stanley is an amazing doctor and surgeon with an exceptional bedside manner!

Great Doctor

Very professional

Very knowledgeable and he explained everything to me so I understood exactly what needs to be done.

Very well mannered & excellent surgeon

Dr Stanley is very professional and has your best interest in mind. He ALWAYS answers my questions and never makes me feel rushed. I eventually had to have surgery and Dr Stanley did an excellent job, I feel wonderful! I would refer Dr Stanley to anyone who is having back issues! A+++++:

He is a phenomenal surgeon he is caring very compassionate and extremely helpful

Showed sincere concern and knowledge.

I came to Dr. Stanley after suffering with severe back and leg pain for 9 years. Alternative treatments were no longer relieving my pain and I was miserable. He assessed my condition and ordered an MRI and within 2 weeks scheduled me for surgery. Upon waking up from surgery, the pain I had lived with for 9 years was gone! Of course, the incision had to heal, but leg and back pain was gone! Dr. Stanley listened to me; he was empathetic, and he fixed me!

Wonderful md. Would always come back to him he takes time and answers questions!

A fine doctor1

Exceptional Dr

Satisfied with him so far. I feel confident in him.

Hasn't did anything for me yet

Excellent Doctor And very good Job!

Excellent. Personable. Professional. Considerate. Knowledgable.

Spent a lot of time with me, very personable.

First and only visit. Will not see him again. Was in the room with me for less than 5 minutes and that was it. No diagnosis were given to me except get a neck injection from another doctor and left the room

Very Knowledgeable Down to earth.

Dr Stanley in very personable, and makes you feel so comfortable, would recommend to family and friends!
