Not specifically "made" for my knees, but I got the right size and they cut and put this soft material inside around where the hole is to keep your knee from moving all over the place. I've used the store bought braces with holes, and believe me---there is a difference. And yes, he's in the area, in Palos. (I can never get Heights or Park straight!) One of my mom's good friend used him for his knee surgery (so maybe he's both?), and that's how I got the name. I'm very happy with him. He didn't try to tell me I needed surgery or anything. His name is....Dr. Scott Price, and the number is 708-361-0600. He works at a clinic place but I can't remember the name.
