Dr Suleiman is a genius! I went to her to repair a faulty total knee replacement which was done by another doctor in another hospital and the revision she accomplished was nothing short of a miracle. I am recovering nicely and can't say enough about her and her team at Northwestern. She is truly the finest physician I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with.

Dr. Linda Idris Suleiman, MD got the highest mark from me back in 2022 after successfully replacing BOTH of my deteriorating knees with new ones, which continue to serve me well in 2024. Her professional skills and talent raised me up from a mobility scooter I was using on a part time job, to once again, walking independence, WITHOUT fatigue or pain. I am so grateful to Dr. Suleiman.
