Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

2012 Dr. Lapinski put my shattered right leg back together. took 2 surgeries. I have never found a doctor more caring and attentive through the whole process than this man. still upset about finding out about the move to Tenn. Might make an appt. down there with him. Dr. Lapinsky I wish you the best, and thank you. Art Taylor, LIsle Illinois

Dr. Lapinski was willing to take a look at my ankle based on history after having 2 unsuccessful surgeries and thw amount of pain i was in when I saw him. I am happy to report that 9 months post op I feel GOOD. I haven't been able to say that in 4 years. Very grateful Dr. Lapinski listened to me and not what my MRI said. Thank you!!

Dr. Lapinski gave me the ability to walk again. Competent skilled compassionate doctor highly recommended by my seasoned primary doctor and my seasoned orthopedic (hip replacement) surgeon. Tennessee is blessed by his practice there. I along with others wish him well, however, miss him in Chicago area.

I am 59 and have had 29 surgeries for various issues. I had severe trauma to my left foot and after researching found Dr. Lapinski. I had a below the knee amputation with lots of complications that resulted in 3 addition surgeries. By far he is the most skilled, empathetic and knowledgeable surgeon I have had the work with me. I am not an easy patient to work with as I have had some very bad experiences with medical providers. I challenge most of my doctors and I have to say Dr. Lapinski and I had our moments of differing opinions but in the end we developed a respect for each other that we now can look back and laugh at were some very hard times that Dr. Lapinski saw me through with flying colors!

Dr Lapinski is a great doctor with a wonderful attitude, and what a memory. He remembered operating on my right Achilles’ tendon and heel two years ago (retrocalcaneous exostectomy) when I came to him in April of 2019 with the same problem on my other foot! He gets right down to explaining everything, making things very clear, easy to understand. He puts you at ease, and is very personable, I have a lot of faith in Dr. Lapinski. He will take all the time you need in his office to put your mind at ease about any upcoming surgery, never makes you feels rushed. I now have “two matching feet and heels”, and am on my way to a good recovery. Very happy, thank you!

I have been a patient of Dr. Lapinski's for about 3 years. I have some very complex issues with my feet. Dr. Lapinski has been wonderful. I've also consulted with a respected Northwestern orthopaedic, both are in agreement on procedures. I have absolute confidence in this doctor. He is incredibly knowledgeable, skilled and is very highly respected by other doctors that I've talked with. Two family members are now patients of Dr. Lapinski due to my experiences and outcomes.

Dr. Lapinski had xrays done of both feet, as I have had 8 breaks in the past and I suspected a stress fracture, left foot 2nd metatarsal. I was right. I had already been following instructions he gave me from a previous injury and re-used the boot to immobilize this injury until seeing me. He took the time to compare previous xrays, show me where the new fracture is, confirm it by examining my foot. He took the time to discuss another issue needing foot surgery and reassure me it is easy.

This Doctor never asked me a question about my pain !!! how is it possible that he was not at all concerned about the main reason for my visit. so he tells me to get up on the exam table and proceeds to grab and twist my very painful left foot I nearly screamed in pain. Never apologized !!! UGH I told him can you see the swelling ?!? He was more focused on some discussion happening out in the hallway then he was with me. I fear going back and will not.

Dr. Lapinski’s attitude and care towards his patients is downright unprofessional. He shows a lack of character, compassion, turns a deaf ear and leaves you extremely frustrated with more questions than answers after speaking/meeting with him.

Never gave me a reason for my terrible foot pain and told me to suck it up. I have now been walking/hobbling on a bum foot for almost 2 years now at 23 years of age! Don't waist your time seeing this doctor!!! Thus far all other non- ortho doctors think I have a lisfranc injury and I am just waiting to have enough money to get an x-ray done of both of my feet to see if it is a lisfranc injury because he did not even take the time to do another x-ray to rule this out.
