Histori
Dr. Leonard J. Cerullo founded the Chicago Institute of Neurosurgery and Neuroresearch Medical Group ("CINN") in 1987 and oversaw its growth to be one of the largest physician practices specializing in neurological care in the Midwest. Dr. Cerullo's original vision was to create a hospital dedicated to neurological care with the establishment of Neurologic & amp; Orthopedic Institute of Chicago in 2003. In 2007, the name was changed to "Neurologic and Orthopedic Hospital of Chicago." The hospital closed suddenly in 2009.

Clinical leadership
NOHC medical staff includes some of the most respected neurologists and orthopedics in the market. Neurological practice is led by CINN (Institute of Neurosurgery and Neuroresearch Chicago), which consists of 9 neurosurgeons, 2 neurologists, 1 neurointerventionalist, and 5 physiatrists. While NOHC acts as a "hub," CINN also maintains satellite offices in four other locations across Chicago. Dr. John Hefferon, one of Chicago's leading orthopedic physicians, is the Medical Director for the NOHC orthopedic service line that focuses on sports medicine, joint replacement & amp; resurfacing, and work-related injuries. He is also a former team doctor for the Chicago Bulls and current league doctor for the NBA.
Preston Wolin, director of sports medicine, is also a former team doctor for Chicago Fire Major League Soccer.
Service and special care
NOHC is the first country hospital dedicated exclusively to the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of neurologic and orthopedic patients. From October 2006 to September 2007, NOHC performed more than 1,100 cases of neurosurgery, 910 orthopedic cases and 1650 pain procedures. NOHC doctors took part in a study that led to new treatment options for challenging conditions. They are among the first in the country to use technology that later became the standard of care: guided imaging in spine surgery, artificial grafts grown, stents and coils inserted designed to keep blood vessels open, and use of Gamma Knives to destroy tumors. They developed new knee and hip replacement options that allow patients to continue their active lifestyle.
Offered at NOHC, BIRMINGHAM The hip coating is a relatively new procedure approved by the FDA in 2006. It is a minimally invasive alternative to total hip replacement that retains the top of the femur with a metal ball. Dr. Mitchell Sheinkop, director of joint replacement program, has performed this procedure on former MLB player Albert Belle and former NFL quarterback Jim Miller. He is also the first orthopedic surgeon in Chicago to be trained in the use of a knee reshap procedure called "The Journey Deuce."
Rankings and achievements
NOHC was named by HealthGrades in 2008 as the best hospital in Illinois for spine surgery, and was given 5 stars for back and neck surgery, spinal fusion, and Spine Surgery Excellence Award 2008, placing it above 5% of the country. The same study also noted that patients undergoing brain or spinal surgery in NOHC often had fewer complications and shorter hospitalization times, and that the joint replacement department claimed one of the lowest infection rates in the country.
