Overview
For orthopedic surgeon and joint replacement specialist Viktor Tollemar, MD, his path to a medical career arose from several factors. The son of a nurse and engineer, he was drawn to a career that would enable him to help people and fix problems. In medical school, orthopedics — and joint replacement, specifically — was a good fit for his mechanically inclined mind.
“I really became enamored with orthopedics and, in particular, joint reconstruction early on in medical school,” Dr. Tollemar said. “The profound impact of a hip or knee replacement on the quality of life of someone suffering from arthritis was unlike any other medical or surgical intervention I had ever seen.”
After graduating summa cum laude from Pennsylvania State University with a degree in pre-medicine, Dr. Tollemar earned his medical degree from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. He completed residency training in orthopedic surgery at the University of Michigan and a fellowship in adult reconstruction at Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush.
His clinical expertise encompasses Osteoarthritis, Tendinitis, Hip Replacement, and Knee Replacement.
Dr. Tollemar is board certified in Illinois Medical License, Indiana Medical License, Michigan Medical Doctor Educational Limited License, Basic Life Support; Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support; Pediatric Advanced Life Support, USMLE Step 3, USMLE Step 2 CS, USMLE Step 2 CK, and USMLE Step 1. He is actively involved in clinical research, co-authoring 10 peer reviewed articles.
