A focused practice in adult joint reconstruction.
Dr. Jennifer Bido is an adult reconstruction orthopaedic surgeon at Endeavor Health, specializing exclusively in hip and knee replacement. Her practice serves patients across Chicago’s western suburbs from offices in Elmhurst, Lombard, and Oak Park.
She joined Endeavor Health in 2025 following fellowship training at the Rothman Orthopaedic Institute in Philadelphia — one of the largest and most highly regarded orthopaedic practices in the country — and residency at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, long ranked the #1 hospital for orthopaedics in the United States.
The path here.
Dr. Bido’s path to medicine began with a QuestBridge National College Match — a national scholarship program that places high-achieving students from low-income backgrounds into the country’s most selective universities on full-tuition awards. From Stuyvesant High School in New York City, she matriculated at Stanford, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Human Biology with departmental honors and worked in the Stanford Human Performance Laboratory studying biomechanics and athletic performance.
She went on to Harvard Medical School, graduating cum laude in 2018. Alongside her medical degree, she earned a Master of Public Health in Quantitative Methods at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, building the statistical and analytic foundation that continues to shape her clinical research today. She was named an Albright Scholar in her final year, an award given to outstanding senior students entering surgical subspecialties.
Her surgical training began at the Hospital for Special Surgery, where she completed her orthopaedic surgery residency. There she also served on the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Resident Committee and helped lead the residency program’s response during the COVID-19 pandemic. After residency, she completed a fellowship in adult hip and knee reconstruction at the Rothman Orthopaedic Institute. She began her practice in Chicago in 2025.
What I treat.
Dr. Bido’s practice is devoted entirely to adult reconstruction — the surgical and non-surgical care of hip and knee arthritis, joint deterioration, and prior joint replacements that require revision. Within that focus, she offers the full range of modern joint replacement techniques, including:
- Direct anterior total hip replacement, a muscle-sparing approach designed to accelerate recovery
- Robotic-assisted total knee replacement, using computer-guided implant positioning for precise alignment
- Partial (unicompartmental) knee replacement, a bone-preserving option for arthritis confined to one compartment of the knee
- Complex revision surgery for hips and knees that have worn out, loosened, or become unstable
Her clinical philosophy is grounded in shared decision-making.
Surgery is a significant choice, and the right answer depends on each patient’s individual goals, anatomy, and stage of disease. For patients who are not yet candidates for replacement — or who would prefer to wait — she also offers conservative management, injections, and guidance on activity modification.
Research and recognition.
Dr. Bido is an active researcher with 23 peer-reviewed publications and more than 20 conference presentations. Her published work spans the techniques of direct anterior approach hip replacement, the cost-efficiency of joint replacement care, predictors of patient-reported outcomes, and disparities in access to and outcomes from arthroplasty. Her research has been funded by an NIH T32 training grant in combined engineering and orthopaedics, and by named research grants at HSS.
She holds active medical licenses in Illinois, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and is a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the Ruth Jackson Orthopaedic Society, and the J. Robert Gladden Orthopaedic Society.
Beyond the operating room.
A native bilingual Spanish and English speaker, Dr. Bido provides care in both languages — a commitment that began long before residency. Her early research with Operation Walk Boston, a medical mission organization providing joint replacement to patients in the Dominican Republic, focused on long-term outcomes for patients in resource-limited settings and on what makes international surgical missions sustainable. That work shaped a clinical practice grounded in the conviction that exceptional orthopaedic care should reach every patient who needs it.
She lives in Chicago with her husband and two daughters.
