I would highly recommend Dr. Verma and his staff. I had shoulder and bicep surgery and at 51 years old this was my first surgery and I was very nervous but Dr. Verma and his staff made me very comfortable and I have nothing but good things to say about my experience.
Dr. Verma is an Excellent Orthopedic doctor. He knows what he is doing in his area of specialty. He just needs to slow down. The wait to see him is always longer than the actual visit.
This is a busy office so be prepared for a wait. Dr. Verma is willing to listen to your problem and offer a suitable treatment plan. His P.A. Is also excellent. I’m so glad I went to see this doctor; received a cortisone shot for ac separation and this is the most pain-free I’ve been in 3.5 months.
Wonderful doctor. Easy to talk to. Quick responses . His staff is also wonderful. Scheduling surgery was easy. So glad I saw him!
Dr. Verma so exceeded my expectations—even knowing he’s one of the best around, (he works with the Bulls and the White Sox!) I was impressed! He’s obviously one of the best in his field, but he’s also a genuinely nice guy! It’s clear that he cares about his patients and giving each one the best possible outcome. He’s accessible for any & all concerns, so you can feel secure with the treatment plan and be an active participant in your own recovery. I can’t recommend him highly enough! Thank you!
Very good Dr. Top Notch.. Highly recommended from start to finish they accommodate all of your troubles..
Both of my shoulders were in need of repair and after my first conciliation with Dr Verma I knew I was making the right choice for me. 5 years ago Dr Verma repaired my left shoulder and when it was time to fix my right shoulder Dr Verma was my only choice. I just had my right shoulder repaired in December and only a few weeks after I’m pain free and ready to start PT. Dr Verma and his entire staff were amazing!
Awesome, great guy... easy to talk to and most if all lol, he fixed the problem. Bar none this is the man
He listened to my issue. He put a plan together to get me back to normal.
Definitely would recommend him. Very knowledgeable and gives you the best care.
