Dr. Bartel has the best bed side manner! His staff are amazing. I broke my ankle on Tuesday and was having surgery by Friday. Couldn’t have asked for better care!

Dr. Bartel has great bedside manner, explains everything, patient and very approachable

He is AWESOME! My kind of Doctor, no high tech mumbo jumbo, just tells it as it is! I like him.

We saw Dr. Bartel for our seven year old daughter’s broken leg on a whim after an Google search, because our appointment had been canceled by an orthopedist in Naperville. Dr. Bartel and his PA (Angela Lang) and staff were absolutely wonderful with our little girl. It’s always worrisome to go someplace that doesn’t focus solely on pediatrics, but everyone here knew how to work with kids and we were so impressed. We are thrilled to know that OrthoFirst exists, and are likely to drive to Geneva from Naperville for any broken bones that occur in our future.

Very thorough as well as kind.

Thoroughly explained my procedure and his staff were top notch!

Excellent provided detailed explanation for my injury and surgical repair

I’m so thankful for Dr. Bartel, your kindness and compassion to explain details that put me at ease.

Dr. Bartel listened to my concerns about my feet & ankles, compared my new x-rays to those taken in 2019, and discussed options for each condition. He did not appear rushed and was very pleasant. He gave my right ankle a cortisone injection with orders for PT pending.

Dr. Bartel is fantastic. As a fellow runner he understands the impact of running on the body and is able to address challenges with the goal of allowing patients to return to normal activity. Other doctors I have seen often just want to say forget running try X, Not Dr. Bartel.

The doctor was VERY professional but the office staff were very rude. Not to only to us, but to everyone who entered the building. It sets a very bad tone and we questioned if we should even stay. He would double his business if he had kind and helpful staff. We asked a neighbor afterward and several people jumped in to agree and share the same feedback.

Very reassuring and positive

I wish his office would call me with my MRI approval🙏🏻

We came from a horrible experience from accident out of state. Dr. Bartel was kind, supportive, a good listener and explained everything in a way we could understand. TOP NOTCH
