Daniel T Ivankovich MD

Summary

• Dr. Daniel Ivankovich is an Orthopaedic Surgeon based in Chicago, IL, specializing in hip and knee reconstructive surgery, orthopedic spine surgery and trauma. He completed his medical degree at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, followed by residency and fellowships in orthopaedic surgery and trauma at Rush University Medical Center. Dr. Ivankovich holds several clinical and consulting positions across Chicago, serving at institutions such as Humboldt Park Health and AMITA Health Saints Mary & Elizabeth Medical Center.

During his 30-year career, Doctor Dan has focused on providing state-of-the-art spine, joint and fracture care to Chicagoans from all walks of life. He understands the crippling pain of arthritis that his patients suffer, having personally undergone thirteen knee surgeries himself. He's overseen 100,000+ patient visits and performed over twenty thousand surgical procedures, and there are few surgical challenges that he can't handle. His writings have appeared in Op-Med, sharing insights from his professional experiences. He is a recipient of multiple honors, such as the CNN Hero award and the Chicagoan of The Year title. With all of his variable expertise, there is a connecting thread. When wielding a scalpel with skill and precision, preaching on the day's relevant social issues or squeezing a blue note out of his six-string, integrity rules his reality. The “Blues Doctor” has helped establish orthopedic outreach and patient education programs at virtually all of Chicago's safety-net hospitals. An award-winning physician that’s part bluesman, healer, philosopher & shaman, and, as Rock & Roll Hall-Of-Famer Bo Diddley said about Ivankovich, "He ain't from this planet."
