He has overseen more than 100,000 patient visits and provides specialty care for twisted spines, degenerated joints, sports injuries, and broken bones. Having performed over ten thousand surgical procedures—including spine and joint reconstruction, open reduction and internal fixation, arthroscopy, and pain management—there are few surgical challenges he cannot handle. Additionally, Dr. Dan is a well-known public figure and humanitarian who has helped establish orthopedic outreach and patient education programs at virtually all of Chicago’s safety-net hospitals.

With all of his varied expertise, there is a connecting thread. Whether wielding a scalpel with skill and precision, preaching on the day’s relevant social issues, or squeezing a blue note out of his six-string, integrity rules his reality. Dan Ivankovich delivers the goods with a street-savvy hipness and honesty that’s nearly extinct in today’s climate of inequitable healthcare policies, greed, corruption, and injustice. An award-winning physician who’s part bluesman, healer, philosopher, and shaman, and as Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Bo Diddley said about Ivankovich, “He ain’t from this planet.”
