Hill James's Online Review Report Card

It took time to decide on having surgery because of my age (79) and health history (MS). I was always in pain and very restricted in my daily abilities. I did decide to have Dr. Hill do the surgery and am extremely pleased with the results.

Great Shoulder Surgeon Specialist. Dr. Hill performed a very difficult rotator cuff surgery that went very well. Professional and personable. Limited wait times for follow ups. Great staff. I highly recommend Dr. James T. Hill.

Dr. Hill and his staff are personable and professional. Very difficult Rotator cuff surgery performed excellently with scope and avoided opening me up with his expertise. Very short wait times for follow ups are a big plus. Highly recommend.

Great Shoulder Surgeon Specialist. Professional and personable. Easy follow up visits. Great staff. Superb surgeon. Highly recommend.

Dr. Hill did my total left shoulder replacement on April 23, 2021 at Northwest Community Hospital. I have been a patient of Dr. Hill's since 2017. I have found him to be very honest, empathetic and caring. I couldn't be happier with my new shoulder. Because of his excellent surgical skill, I am able to enjoy things now that I had not been able to do for quite some time. I'd highly recommend him to anyone needing joint replacement surgery.

Dr. James Hill has brought me through both a Shoulder Replacement and more recently a Hip Replacement. I could not have chosen a more caring and competent surgeon.

I had my second knee replacement by Dr Hill and the procedure was just as good as the other knee he did. Excellent explanation of what to expect, his staff is knowledgeable & friendly and the followup care is excellent. Appointment times were pretty much at the scheduled time with treatment and check ups.

Dr. Hill was able to completely repair a rotator cuff tear that was over 10 years old. He is very focused on the patients well being and successful outcome of the surgery.

yes I would recommend Dr. Hill to my family and friends the surgery went very well . I had a torn rotator cuff and a torn bicep on my right shoulder and with the surgery it is healing nicely also I had my left torn rotator cuff surgery done by Dr. Hill 12 yrs. ago and he did a wonderful surgery then that is why I came back to him now .He is very skillful and knowledgeable surgeon and spot on with his advice on my recovery.

Everyone in the office was kind and efficient. Dr. Hill is a good listener and we discussed the pain issue in detail and then took steps to start remediation. The one down side was the amount of paperwork, much of it redundant, that was required because it had been more than a year since my last visit.

I have had several surgeries by Dr James Hill, a complete reverse replacement of my left shoulder and a replacement of my right knee. The left knee will follow in about three months. The pre surgical consultations were extremely thorough and understandable and left no question in my mind that the end result would be no less than perfect . . . and they were. Dr Hill is no less than the ideal medical professional and I look forward to our continued relationship as we prepare for my next surgery in about three months.Sincerely,James Mohr

Had left shoulder surgery a few years back. Went extremely well. I am currently under care for my right shoulder. Dr. Hill is a very dedicated, compassionate, caring doctor. His work and assist with recovery is top notch.

Dr Hill is amazing! I had what calls “the angriest shoulder he’s even seen” and I recovered. Took me years & extensive therapy but I’m there! Frozen shoulder twice. He was honest about what I would go through & gave me his honest opinion about the recommended procedure for the pinched nerves in my neck. I love the fact that he doesn’t jump into surgery & makes it a last resort, was always honest & caring, listens & made me as comfortable as possible. Even post surgery! I would highly recommend him & hope he never retires!!

I saw Dr. Hill for a shoulder/Rotator Cuff issue. He read my MRI and knew exactly what needed to be done in order for my arm to be functional and pain free. Surgery was scheduled one month later. Absolute Success! Dr. Hill was kind, informative, and very patient. He explained everything in detail as well.

I have been a patient of Dr. James Hill for many years because of pain in my knee. When I got to the point where I decided to get it fixed, I scheduled surgery with Dr. Hill to do a knee replacement. Happily, it turned out to be a partial knee replacement and 6 months later I am completely pain free and able to walk miles. Like others who have had this surgery usually say, “I should have done it sooner!” Dr. Hill is very personable and always took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns about surgery/recovery in the time of a pandemic. I really appreciate his time, his good humor and his care so much so that we are now going to start investigating a shoulder problem. Additionally, I went to rehab at IBJI in Palatine, IL and was really pleased with that experience. It was hard work but the staff is delightful and I look forward to working with them again if the need arises.

My shoulder was very painful so a friend recommended I see Dr. Hill. I had my left shoulder replaced in March. Dr. Hill explained all about the procedure and recovery. He is a very kind person and expert surgeon. I feel great now and will definitely recommend Dr. Hill to others.

I am completely satisfied with my recent shoulder surgery. In a few weeks I was able to get back to most home activities and started hitting the golf course after 5 weeks. I had a cleanup that so far has exceeded my expectations for flexibility and elimination of discomfort. In fact, I did not need ANY pain medication starting day 2. Dr. Hill was very responsive to my questions before and after the surgery. He is very personable and professional. I would definitely recommend Dr. Hill.
