They really do know what they are doing here. I was in agony for days. All it took was 20 minutes for the doctor to stop the pain in my shoulder. I wish I knew about them sooner.

Dr B is seriously one of the most attentive doctors Ive ever seen. He listens and really tries to find the source of the pain. When he doesnt know something bc its not in his wheelhouse, he wants to learn more to understand how that issue might be effecting my pain. Hes honest about treatment options, which is RARE in the medical industry. Ive been in his care for years and am continually impressed by his character.

I met the staff and Dr. Bathla as a referral from St. Joseph hospital. I've been going to Chicago Sports and Spine now for about three to four years now. The are very thorough with my health. They monitor my levels through my labs test, urine, blood and xrays when needed.
Dr. Bathla tells the truth no matter what, he offeres you choices of pain relief. I have found the most caring group of pain managements specialist in Chicago. Should anyone try his office, I promise you won't be disappointed. I truly consider them friends.
