Grant Garrigues's Online Review Report Card

After researching orthopedic surgeons that specialize in shoulder joint replacement, I came across Dr. Garrigues reviews. After reading his Bio, he reminded me of a younger version of the surgeon that had replaced my right shoulder at the Scottsdale Mayo Clinic. Upon meeting Dr. Garrigues he commented on the great range of motion and that he would try to do as good a job or better on my left side. I have to say he did. This surgery was a Total Reverse Shoulder Replacement and I have been amazed at the outcome. I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Garrigues. I knew this shoulder was much worse and the pain was unbearable and after six weeks I am pain free and getting my life back. Thank you Dr. Garrigues.

Dr. Garrigues and his team are great, and would highly recommend. From my first visit through surgery and follow up, he took the time to be sure all of my questions were answered. He found a solution for my unique situation. I have a new shoulder and my life back!

Dr. Garrigues performed surgery on my left elbow (osteocapsular debridement and ulnar nerve transposition). Dr G was very honest and upfront from the very beginning explaining the pros and cons of the surgical procedure. Dr. G and his entire staff are very professional including the hospital staff at Oak Park. Follow-up appointments were comprehensive and all my questions were answered with care and concern. I followed Dr. Garrigues’ recommendations for therapy to a T and returned back to work in approximately 12 weeks as he predicted. Chris ~Kankakee, IL May 2020

Great Doctor! I am very satisfied with my care.

Dr. G surgically repaired a large rotator cuff tear and tenodesis in my shoulder. From the very first visit until the my 6 month post op visit, everything went well and the surgery was successful after suffering with a lot of pain for years. His staff, bedside manner, talent and care were unsurpassed!

I interviewed three top shoulder surgeons in the Midwest and talked with the top surgeon in New York City before I selected Dr. Garrigues to replace my painful, osteoarthritic left shoulder, which he did in late March 2019. In my opinion, Dr. Garrigues sets the standard by which all other surgeons are measured. Personally, he is empathic, responsive, and thorough. Additionally he is augmented by a highly skilled, responsive, and considerate professional staff. Based on that March experience, I asked him to replace my severely deteriorated right shoulder which he did six months later in September 2019. As I said earlier I did my research knowing that a successful outcome depends on a skilled surgeon, and Dr. Garrigues is that. I love my two new, pain-free shoulders!! Thank you Dr. Garrigues.

Dr. Garrigues is very thorough in giving me x rays and a ct scan before he made his judgements and explained everything in layman's terms. He helped me understand what my issues are and what we could do to help me out. I am very confident with him. He really is smart and knew exactly what was wrong with my shoulders. I won't go see anyone else. I have been to other orthopedic doctors in the past but I finally found the best now. Thank you Dr Garrigues!

Dr Garrigues is a true professional. He completely redid my shoulder replacement that had not been put in properly by another surgeon. The surgery was fantastic and very, very little pain afterwards. I have great use of my arm. He gave my a shot in my other shoulder yesterday that is working really great already. He is very knowledgeable and personable. He made me feel like I was most important while he was in the room.

Dr. Garrigues is such a wonderful doctor. he took my shoulder which most every other doctor had given up so my last surgeon referred me to Dr. Garrigues and i told him that i had 8 previous surgeries on my left shoulder so we went over everything that would be necessary to fix this shoulder.when all was said and done im glad to announce that Dr. Garrigues not only gave me mobility back tho my right shoulder but also has give me the stability that it needed to keep it from dislocating

Dr. Garrigues and his PA, Ms. Martha Aitken, turned me into a new person. Before I had the benefit of their care and treatment, I had unrelenting severe left shoulder pain caused by bone on bone arthritis. Pain killers provided no relief, and the pain kept me awake at night and interfered with virtually all facets of my day to day living. Enter Dr. G and Ms. Aitken. Thanks to them, I now have a new left shoulder joint that is pain-free, giving me the full range of motion of a young man.
