Listens to patient questions and takes time to explain answers. Knowledgeable and proficient. Has a lot of experience which lends to his expertise. Will spend whatever time is required to make sure patient understands. Surgery was well orchestrated with a plan for steps along for recovery.

Had successful replacement surgery on both sides (7 months apart) and was home the day after surgery. What a difference it made in being able to enjoy walking again. Dr. Kaufman and the staff were excellent and I would highly recommend him.

It has been a year since I had my hip replaced and I feel great! After my first visit, with Dr. David Kaufman, I was convinced that he was the right surgeon for me. He explained the procedure in detail from surgery to recovery, thus putting my anxiety to rest. I feel Dr. Kaufman is an exceptional surgeon with an outstanding degree of both knowledge and experience. Just as importantly his care and respect for his patients shines brightly. I would highly recommend him.

He replaced my right knee in January 2019 and I have been in constant pain since about six months later. He blew me off at the one-year mark, blaming arthritis in my spine but that has since been ruled out by other doctors at Northwestern. Surgery also created a half inch leg length discrepancy that I am still struggling with. He recently moved to Hawaii.

If there were 100 stars, I would give Dr. Kaufman all of them! In the past year, he replaced both of my hips and they are PERFECT. My recovery for both has been remarkable. Dr. Kaufman listens, is patient, and explains his process and results in a comforting manner. You feel incredibly cared for. His team, including Karla Stewart PA-C is outstanding. I highly recommend Dr. Kaufman.

Dr. Kaufman and his incredibly amazing team, if you are fortunate enough to get him/them, will perform their scientific alchemy and get you walking and back to your life. They practice with such unusual compassion and intelligent consideration you'll feel like something beyond your power has placed you in their capable hands.

I went through a very traumatic experience with my original choice for my knee replacement surgeries. At Ortho Illinois I was slandered, mistreated, degraded and left to fell all alone after a year of planning. Fortunately their Risk and credentiality manager found that they were to blame and sincerely apologized to me and led me to contact a different list of Doctors fro Northwestern Memorial’s listings and I prayerfully choice Dr. Kaufman . When I say it was the providence of God, I really mean it. My double knee replaceme... read more
