First rheumatologist I’ve ever been to in my life, but I feel like I stuck gold. Dr. Tambar and team have provided me with some of the best patient experiences of any doctor I’ve been to. They really do a great job.

Dr. Tambar is an exceptional rheumatologist who truly goes above and beyond for his patients. From the moment I stepped into his office, I felt welcomed and cared for. He takes the time to listen attentively, explains everything thoroughly, and ensures that all my questions are answered about my RA diagnosis. His knowledge and expertise are evident, and he genuinely cares about providing the best possible treatment. The office staff is also friendly and efficient, making the entire experience seamless. I highly recommend Dr. Tambar to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled doctor. Thank you!

Unfortunately the visit wasn’t what I wanted to hear but I appreciate the Dr’s honest opinion. That said, I believe in what you practice. I remain optimistic about my situation.

If you have RA - and the body/mind changes that come with it - this is the place you should be. Dr Tambar is calm and a true listener. My visits with him have never felt rushed. He takes time to understand what you are feeling - physically, mentally and emotionally. He is holistic in his approach but combines this with the latest medical treatments. I am now going through a new and painful shoulder episode which my medical doctors have been scrambling unsuccessfully to treat. He has pinpointed and targeted this accurately - but more than that, he has understood where I am in this pain journey. If you need help from a true listener and inovative healer, I would give him a try. 🙏

The entire team is excellent. Dr. Tambar takes the time to explain a treatment plan, makes sure you are comfortable with the plan and executes the plan with great care and explanation including follow-up to cover questions and provide any other necessary information. The office is extremely organized and clean and nurses, P.A. and others make you feel cared for and at ease. Consistent follow-up with Dr. Tambar post procedure has been outstanding allowing ample time to discuss progress and to have any questions answered. Treatment of my left knee has seen remarkable improvement.

Dr. Tambar explained the process each step as he went along. We started this process in May 2024. Got the process approved through insurance and Dr. Tambar And his team have been amazing. When I first went in, I had bone on bone on my right knee and was unable to stand without pain and walking was impossible, but I did it because I had to work. I had the procedure in a three week process the first week we had a Sweetwater injection just to lubricate the knee the second bone marrow out of my back and put it into my knee that was done in the morning and in the afternoon they injected the stem cell. Injecting the stem cell was a little painful however, doctor was very, very considerate when I felt pain he gave me breathing techniques as well as sprayed more numbing spray. After I was done, I was doubtful that it worked because I really did not and feel much better however, 2 days later when I stood I was amazed that it did not hurt. I started walking and it did not hurt for the first time in about three years I walked my hallway. I walked to my kitchen and I felt much much better. Then I went back to work and working and walking around the branch Used to be very painful, but after this procedure, I can honestly say that I’m walking better and feeling better. I doing physical therapy and my knee is feeling 99% better. Today was my one month check up and I could honestly say I feel like a new person with my knee. I can bend it I can walk with it can go up and down the stairs. I went from not walking a lot to starting to walk more. I feel that my decision to do the stem cell was the best Decision I could’ve ever made. Naturally, I have do some work, like exercise and make the decision to do it. I highly suggest that you consider stem cell. It’s worth every cell.

Dr. Tambar's expertise in stem cell therapy has truly transformed my life. Suffering from stiff, achy arthritic knees was a constant battle until I sought his care. From the moment I stepped into his office, I was met with warmth and professionalism from Dr. Tambar and his team. The stem cell injections he administered to both knees provided immediate relief, a sensation I hadn't experienced in years. It's incredible how a single treatment could make such a significant difference. Not only did I find relief from the symptoms that had plagued me for so long, but I also regained a sense of mobility and freedom that I had feared was lost forever. Dr. Tambar's dedication to staying at the forefront of medical advancements is evident in his meticulous approach to treatment. He took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. His passion for improving the lives of his patients shines through in his work, and I am deeply grateful for the care and expertise he provided. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Tambar to anyone seeking relief from joint pain or considering stem cell therapy. Thanks to his skill and compassion, I am now able to live my life to the fullest, free from the constraints of knee pain.

My husband seen Siddharth Tambar MD today. Our experience was great. He was very thorough, listened to all of our concerns and explained everything. We went thinking we were only doing a consultation and ended up getting treatment at this appointment. Very nice man and didn’t rush through the appointment. My husband felt very comfortable.

I have been seeing Dr. Tambar for nearly a decade. I've observed him build his practice and cope with many business challenges; moving locations, covid, expansion of services, etc. He has managed these changes with great calm and always kept the care and followup for his patients as his top priority. He's very professional yet approachable and engaging. His staff is equally hard working and technically competent balanced with a sincere sense of care. I'm with him for the long haul... if lucky enough to keep him. Besides, anyone who likes hockey is centered.

I have been a patient of Dr. Tambar’s since February. I could not have chosen a better doctor to help me get through my illness. Whenever I call with a question or concern, Dr. Tambar gets back to me that day, or the next at the very latest. I appreciate his genuine concern, caring maner, accessibility and patience. Dr. Tambar is a credit to his profession and I would highly recommend him. And, a shout out to Cam, who is very efficient and courteous.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Tambar’s for some time and have recently observed a notable improvement in the coordination with the front office staff. They are now more friendly and clearly dedicated to providing the best care for patients. Dr. Tambar himself is an attentive listener, skillfully balancing my long-term care needs while promptly addressing acute inflammatory flares with effective short-term pain relief. This positive change in the office environment and the consistent quality of care from Dr. Tambar have significantly enhanced my overall experience.

I’ve had the best experience with Dr Tambar! He has treated my arthritis in my thumbs and my carpal tunel issues. After three months I am thrilled. I’m looking forward to getting back shoulders repaired next. I’m a huge believer in Chicago Arthritis and Mobility!

I highly recommend Chicago Arthritis. Dr Tambar has the quiet confidence you see in doctors that know they are able to really assess and treat systemic issues (in my case knee and lower back). The results of the Regenexx process have exceeded my expectations. The staff is kind, personable, and professional. No downtime for recovery.
