Do I need a referral to be seen in Bolingbrook?

Many plans do not require one, but some do. Call the office with your insurer and plan name before your visit and you will get a straight answer on participation and on whether a referral or authorization is needed first.

Can I bring imaging from another office?

Yes, and it helps. Bring the actual images on a disc or a share link rather than only the radiologist's report. The report is a summary; the films are what the surgeon reads.

Will I be told I need surgery?

Most patients seen for neck or back pain do not need an operation. The visit is about identifying what is actually causing the symptoms and matching that to the least invasive treatment that will work. When surgery is not the right answer, you will be told so directly.

Spine care in Bolingbrook

The Bolingbrook office covers the southwest corridor along I-55. It is the nearest Academy location for a large part of Will County, including patients travelling up from Joliet and Shorewood.

Schedule at This Office Call (312) 313-1086

This part of the region has a high share of work-related neck and back injuries, and the Bolingbrook office is set up for those visits: imaging review, a clear diagnosis, and honest work-status discussion rather than an automatic push toward surgery.

Because Bolingbrook straddles the Will and DuPage county line, it is also a reasonable alternative to Elmhurst for patients in the Naperville and Woodridge area who want a shorter drive.

Getting here

Bolingbrook is on I-55 at Route 53 and Boughton Road, a short drive from the I-55 and I-355 interchange. Patients coming north from Joliet or Shorewood generally take I-55; those coming east from Morris take I-80 to I-55.
