- August 07, 2023 In late spring 2023, I injured myself while working out at the gym. My friend recommended Dr. Cole and I was lucky enough to get in to see his team in short order. (Thanks to scheduling group!) Dr. Cole recognized my injury immediately, asked me about the circumstances and timing of the event, and scheduled surgery for the following Tuesday. This may seem standard, but Dr. Cole was actually scheduling me while the Bulls were getting ready for the playoffs, and he’s always on call for them! Outstanding right?! There’s one more above and beyond to Dr. Cole’s credit: while doing my pec repair, he noticed that my bicep tendon was also damaged, and he went ahead and repaired that too!
During my first three months of recovery, I’ve had the pleasure of working with all three of the doctor’s associates. They are brilliant. Each communicated clearly where I was and what I needed to do to stay on track to make a full recovery. Being able to meet digitally helped also.
From initial scheduling to all the folks at Goldcoast Surgical Center (who I can’t thank enough for taking such good care of not just me, but my wife also) to the rehab schedulers to the folks in accounting: everyone was professional and kind. Literally every person who I’ve come into contact with at MOR has been good at what they do, and they seem to enjoy it. I know that is unusual and it should give you an indication about the truly special character of this organization he’s built. I’ve been going to the Naperville site for rehab three times a week and a can’t say enough good things about that team also. Special shout out to Chris and Lindsey (thank you for your time and energy!) There was a time that I feared losing the ability to use my body the way that made me happy. But Dr. Cole and his army of competent professionals have me on track to make a full recovery and to be strong again.
Thank you all and thanks most of all to Dr. Cole for not just being the best surgeon, but for building a support team to bring the same high level of mastery to all aspects of the required interaction.
