I need a recommendation for a foot doctor in the Chicagoland area

I went to Dr. Chin at Windy City Foot and Ankle.  He has a location in both downtown Chicago and Skokie (not close to you, but I'm not sure where you work).  He got me into custom orthodics which have really helped with my leg and foot issues, as well as teaching me new stretches and strengthening exercises.  Take a look at his website

I have Blue Cross/Blue Shield as well and only had to pay the co-payment.  The orthodics were covered.

There are a ton of great sports med docs and podiatrists in the western burbs.  And with BCBS insurance, you will be able to go anywhere.  I am a sports med doc in the far western burbs at Central DuPage Hospital, but I have a lot of friends much closer to you.  Neeru Jayanthi at Loyola is great.  Kathy Weber at Rush is great.  Ketan Mody at Hinsdale Ortho is great.  There are tons more as well.  You have to be good to practice sports medicine in Chicago as it is a very competitive market.  You could always swing by and see me in Naperville or St. Charles, but I don't think you would have to travel that far for great care.  Hope that helps.
