Matthew L Jimenez, MD

Dr Jiminez consulted with my husband who is considering hip replacement surgery. He spent a great deal of time explaining the procedure and benefits. He was friendly and informative, answered our many questions, and showed us helpful visuals. His asst. was also very informative and efficient. They put my husband’s mind at ease and we both found the experience extremely professional and personable.

ZERO STARS for this princess. I’m not sure who he thinks he is, but he may learn his lesson when I file a report with the medical bureau about his practices.
1. This princess thinks its acceptable to come to IBJ OVER AN HOUR LATE, then he has his students take notes on what problem you are coming in with, wait another 30 min, take you for X-​ray, wait another 45 min and princess Jimenez walks in, only to give you a 30 second talking to, and leaves. No hello, no goodbye cause his visit was shorter than that. Absolutely never again!
I’m surprised that IBJ claims to have the absolute best, and is ok with someone who disrespects patients and their time.

I was referred to Dr. Jimenez by my primary and came to Illinois bone and joint for an initial consultation. The first appointment went well but I noticed the exam room was not clean. The doctor ordered a MRI in there facility. I arrived 10 minutes early for the appointment and waited almost one hour for the MRI. I was informed the patient before me was late. I had a feeling this was the normal course of business for them and they cram in as many patients in as possible and never cared about wasting my time.
When I arrived for my follow up appointment again I arrived 10 minutes early and was told to sit in the waiting room. Over one hour past and I was taken to an exam room. I expected to see the doctor soon. An intern came in and asked me several questions that I had answered when I came in the appointment and was told the doctor would be in shortly. Almost one hour later I decided to leave. Dr. Jimenez called my cell phone a left a message regarding my condition and that his staff would call me the next day to arrange physical therapy .I am still waiting for the call over a week later.
Dr Jimenez apparently has no respect for my time and simply should have had his staff inform me he was running very late and I would have rescheduled the appointment.
Asking a patient to wait over two hours to get medical advice that apparently could have been given to me over the phone shows a greed for billing a many patients as he can with no regard for his profession.

Dr. Jimenez performed surgery on my broken hand a few years back and did an excellent job. He answered any questions I had and made me feel very comfortable throughout the process. My hand felt 100% within 2 months of the surgery, haven’t had a single issue since.
I see some people complaining about his personality (or lack thereof), and to them I say grow up. He’s not there to be your shrink or your best friend, he’s there to fix whatever is broke on your body so you can live a happy and pain free life.
I would strongly recommend Dr. Jimenez to anyone in need of an Orthopedic Surgeon

Excellent surgeon, but with a NASTY personality! I lost my job (as well as my insurance) due to an accident (broken bones). He recommended a brace to be put in and when i told him i did not have any insurance, he stood by the doorway and asked me LOUDLY — ”well, how are you going to pay for this?” Your mom can’t be paying for this. My mom just bowed down his head of embarrassment!
Since then, I didn’t go back to this dr.
There are many Ortho doctors who are both excellent surgeon and kind hearted like his associates — Dr. Wayne Goldstein & Dr. David Raab! I went with Dr. Arif Ali, another excellent Orthopedict Surgeon with a golden heart!

Dr. Jimenez is truly amazing! I had to have both hips replaced within a short period of time. He took as much time as I needed to explain the anterior approach, the benefits of this as opposed to the posterior, and answered all of my questions clearly and thoughtfully. I have had a few surgeries and have yet to find a doctor so focused on my needs, concerns and medical condition as Dr. Jimenez. I had the utmost confidence in his abilities and knowledge. But the best news has been my amazing recovery!!! I have met several people who have had hip replacements, and my recovery has been remarkable compared to theirs. I was very upset when I heard my arthritis was so bad in my second hip that I need it replaced as well. The only consoling part was that I had the best surgeon to take care of it for me. And my second surgery recovery has been even better than the first.
He is a top notch surgeon who is an expert at what he does. I highly recommend him. And I can’t forget his nursing assistant, Chelsey. She is the best medical person I have ever worked with. Smart, attentive to patient needs, personable and funny. She made all of my many visits pleasurable. They are a great team!

I found Dr. Jimenez a year too late. By that I mean, I needed revision surgery because I did not get proper care following an accident — crushed ankle, fib and tib. Thanks to Dr. Jimenez I’m walking again. From the day I met him he earned my trust, as he without hesitantation, said he could fix my leg. My revision surgery had to be in two careful stages, first taking out the hardware that was placed a year earlier, then back two months later to cut and set my leg. Then another six months to heal.
Prior to seeing Dr. Jimenez, a BKA (below knee amputation) was a consideration. Thanks to his skills and knowledge I have my foot and lower leg. My entire experience from that first visit to the last visit more than a year later, was positive. He has superior people work along side him at an awesome hospital. He’s honest and forthright, too, with words of caution about my outcome. My life was forever changed thanks to him. I will NEVER forget him. Thank you again, Dr. Jimenez, for helping me recover from my accident. I just wish I knew of him a year earlier!

My mom went to this doctor after a bad fall off her bicycle wherein she broke her humerus and dislocated her arm by a lot.
She found him extremely difficult to communicate with and was frustrated that she wasn’t given good explanations of the problem or solutions. When she asked questions, he got very defensive.
Obviously, she doesn’t recommend him.
