Tarek Sibai, MD - IU Health Orthopedics & Sports Medicine

I had a pretty terrible mountain biking accident in August of 2020 resulting in a fractured and dislocated elbow. It was pretty messed up.nI'm 25 years old and I was terrified and exhausted after the initial traumatic experience.nnI really appreciated how Dr. Sibai was forthright and honest when describing the extent of my injury . He managed my expectations very well, and I always had confidence that I was in good hands.nnHe preformed the surgery expertly. My elbow is almost fully functional now! I don't have any difficulties with activities of daily living any more. I'm amazed at how well my elbow has healed.

Dr Sibai is a shining example of what every doctor and surgeon should aspire to be. I almost cut my left hand off entirely a few years back. I severed my ulnar artery and nerve as well as all 8 of my flexor tendons. He was knowledgeable and did not BS me about what the outcome of the surgery would be. He then proceeded to wash up and spend 13 hours under a micro scope putting my entire wrist back together. He did an excellent job and I went from a potential future without a usable hand to now having close to 100% normal use of it just a few short years later. He is a good honest man and a far better surgeon. I hold him in the highest regards and unequivocally recommend him. I am even back to playing a little guitar again, something I thought I would never be able to do again! Thank you Tarek! -Levi Collison

Dr. Sibai has a great bedside manner. He explained the process and what could be the expected results very thoroughly. This man is a very skilled surgeon and I would highly recommend him to everyone.

When I went to the walk-in clinic at IU Health Orthopedics & Sports Medicine with a broken wrist I was seen by Dr. Sibai. After viewing my x-rays he gave me a thorough explanation of the expected outcomes of possible alternative treatments. When I chose the surgical option, he made arrangements to perform the surgery that afternoon. During my five week recovery period I had access to the professionally staffed Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy units. My wrist now feels completely normal and I am able to use it as before with no restrictions, thanks to Dr. Sibai. We are very fortunate to have such a high quality, complete and well managed orthopedic care facility in Bloomington.

I had an incredibly complex and risky surgery that required a lot of physical therapy, which I was late for. Even after all of this, Dr. Sibai, and Laura the physical therapist, were able to give me almost complete strength and mobility. They gave me better results than I even hoped for, which I truly think that I wouldn't have gotten anywhere else, especially in Indiana.
