Orthopaedic surgery practice in Rockford and Elgin, Illinois, specialising in arthroscopic hip, knee and shoulder surgery, cartilage restoration and orthobiologic injections.
This is the practice website of Dr Geoffrey Van Thiel, an orthopaedic surgeon working within OrthoIllinois, a physician-owned orthopaedic group in northern Illinois. The practice treats patients with hip, knee and shoulder problems and its stated focus is minimally invasive and arthroscopic surgery — keyhole procedures done through small incisions with a camera rather than open surgery.
The service list is mainly surgical and sports-medicine oriented: hip, knee and shoulder surgery, arthroscopy, cartilage restoration, sports medicine, workers' compensation care and second-opinion consultations. Cell-based and injection treatments appear on the site only under the single heading 'orthobiologics'. The website does not break that term down, so it does not say whether it means platelet-rich plasma, bone marrow concentrate, fat-derived cells, or something else. Anyone approaching this practice specifically for a regenerative injection should ask exactly which product is used and how it is prepared.
Dr Van Thiel is described as a team physician for professional sports organisations and as having published widely in orthopaedic medicine. The practice runs clinics in Rockford and Elgin, and is associated with OrthoIllinois locations including Crystal Lake and Algonquin. As a mainstream orthopaedic practice, treatment here is likely to be billed through health insurance, though the site does not state this.
The site mentions orthobiologics only as a heading and gives no detail about the material used.
Two clinic addresses are published: 324 Roxbury Road, Rockford, IL 61107, open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm; and 1550 N Randall Road, Elgin, IL 60124, with Tuesday clinics from 8am to 4pm. The practice operates as part of OrthoIllinois, which has additional sites in the region including Crystal Lake and Algonquin. There is a patient portal and online appointment booking. No languages other than English are listed, and no international patient service is described.
No prices are published. This is a conventional orthopaedic practice and most services would normally be billed to health insurance, but the site does not state costs or which insurers are accepted.
