Chicago sport legends seek out Dr. Lopez for care: Walter Payton, Dennis McKinnon and Ed O’Bradovich (to name a few).

Dr. Eugene Lopez is a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon who is specialty trained in arthroscopic surgery, sports medicine and total joint replacement surgery – he also trains others in advanced procedures for arthroscopic knee, hip and shoulder techniques.

If after initial treatments prove inadequate, does he consider joint replacement surgery. If surgery is necessary, whenever possible, he opts for minimally invasive outpatient surgery.
