About Craig Williams, MD
Illinois Bone & Joint Institute (IBJI) is the largest independent orthopedic group practice in Illinois, dedicated to helping patients move better so they can live better. Headquartered near the Chicago Loop in Des Plaines, IBJI was founded in October 1991 and has grown to over 150 physician partners across more than 100 locations serving Chicagoland and northwest Indiana. The organization offers fully integrated, comprehensive musculoskeletal patient care, often at costs substantially lower than those found in large healthcare systems or emergency rooms. IBJI’s scope covers nearly every orthopedic specialty, ranging from treating rheumatoid arthritis and concussion to managing acute soft tissue injuries and performing complex surgical reconstructions. They emphasize a collaborative, team-based approach, integrating physicians, therapists, and staff to ensure timely, empathetic, and high-quality outcomes for patients of all ages, including specialized pediatric orthopedic services. For immediate, non-emergency needs, IBJI provides access to OrthoAccess immediate care clinics, designed to treat simple fractures, sprains, and sports injuries faster and more affordably than an ER visit. The practice extends care beyond surgery, heavily investing in wellness and rehabilitation services through its Health Performance Institute (HPI) and OrthoHealth programs. This holistic focus supports patients not only in their recovery from injury or surgery but also in improving overall wellness, fitness, and achieving pain-free movement. IBJI’s experts apply cutting-edge technology, including robotic assistance and advanced diagnostic imaging like 3T High-Field Wide-Bore MRI systems, to ensure accurate diagnoses and customized, modern treatment plans for every musculoskeletal challenge.
