He then completed his residency in Orthopaedic Surgery at Michael Reese Medical Center. Dr. Rochell developed a special interest in knee surgery and sports medicine and completed fellowship work with Dr. Douglas Jackson at Orthopaedic Research Institute Memorial Medical Center, Long Beach, CA.
Dr. Rochell was an Illinois state champion gymnast, winning the still ring competition in both 1966 and 1967. He continued gymnastics through his college career at Stanford, fininshing 5th in the NCAA. His athletic career combined with his interest in engineering and architecture led him to his career in orthopaedic surgery.
In 1981 Dr. Rochell founded Crystal Lake Orthopaedic Surgery. He has devoted himself to serving the athletic community, including numerous high schools in McHenry County. His office supports Certified Athletic Trainers who provide their services to Crystal Lake Central, Prairie Ridge, Woodstock, Marian Central, Johnsburg, McHenry, Harvard, Alden-Hebron and Marengo High Schools.
Though a patient may have a common problem, Dr Rochell believes that there could be circumstances that necessitate a unique solution. An athlete may need to compete, a musician may need to perform, a mother may have to attend her daughter's wedding. "As an orthopaedic surgeon I need to communicate with my patient to identify specific needs and then together work out a solution."
Dr. Rochell works and lives in this community. In addition to devoting time to his wife and 3 children, he participates in skiing/snowboarding, running, mountain and road biking, and golfing.
