Dr. Thomas Obermeyer now performs partial and total knee replacement surgery using the Mako 4 SmartRobotics™ system — Stryker's fourth-generation robotic platform at Schaumburg Surgery Center (SSC).
Mako 4 is a single system that offers more applications and innovation, providing a premium surgical experience across Mako Total Knee and Mako Partial Knee procedures.

- Mako Can. In the operating room, your surgeon guides Mako's robotic arm within pre-defined boundaries using AccuStop™ technology to precisely prepare the bone for your implant.
Why Mako 4?
- Over 1 million Mako Total Knee procedures have been performed globally
- Mako Partial Knee has demonstrated 98% survivorship at a 10-year follow-up
- The Mako 4 system integrates Stryker's fourth-generation Q Guidance System, built on over 20 years of guidance technology experience

- Posted OnOctober 9, 2026Review Author PatrickAt 71 years old in the past, I’ve had a hip replacement by Dr. Dela Valley from Rush Hospital and a knee replacement by Doctor Palmer from Ortho Illinois and now a total shoulder replacement by Dr. Obermeyer of Barrington orthopedic I’ve done my research finding the best doctors available in my area and I’ve found that all three were exceptional.Doctor Thomas Obermeyer was exceptional because he didn’t have his Physicians assistant meeting with me pre-operation and post operations, which is unique in today’s environment. He was very articulate, detailed to the point, answered all my questions and satisfied my concerns. His background is exceptional and it shows in his product. I’m so glad I had him in my vicinity and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing orthopedic surgery.
