Demetrios Louis, MD, DABA, DABAPM, is a skilled pain management specialist at Innovative Pain Specialists in Arlington Heights and Libertyville, Illinois.


Dr. Louis is a lifelong Chicagoan who grew up on the North Shore of Chicago. He attended both Cornell University and Michigan State University, ultimately receiving an undergraduate degree in Physiology. Following graduation, he returned home to pursue advanced studies in Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Illinois. Thereupon, he received his medical degree at St. Matthew's University, where he graduated top of his class. After completing medical school, Dr. Louis returned back to Chicago and started his internship in General Surgery at Rush University Medical Center. At Rush, he was also involved in extensive research in General Surgery and Pain Medicine, helping create protocols for fast-tracking surgical patients in the postoperative period. Dr. Louis then completed a residency in Anesthesiology at Rush University Medical Center.


Subsequently, he left Chicago for Boston in order to complete a fellowship in Interventional Pain Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital of Harvard University, one of the world's most prestigious pain medicine programs. Upon completing his fellowship, he spent one year in Boston at a teaching affiliate of Tufts University, where he practiced Interventional Pain Medicine and Anesthesiology. His ambition to provide comprehensive and quality care for his community motivated Dr. Louis to return back home to Chicago to start a practice in Interventional Pain Medicine with his friend and colleague Dr. Paul Marsiglia at Innovative Pain Specialists. Dr. Louis has considerable interest in all pain disorders converging and implementing the latest interventions and techniques to help treat patients with both acute and chronic pain. In addition, he serves on the medical staff of Northwest Community Hospital, where he is actively involved in treating patients with pain. He is double board-certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology in Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine.


Outside of work, Dr. Louis likes to spend his time watching Chicago sports, playing sports, traveling, cartography, and being with his family.

 

Patient Testimonials

Margie S.

I love seeing Dr. Louis. I have seen him for several years. I actually enjoy going to see him. He listens to what you have to say & what your needs are. He doesn't like putting you on a lot of medicine. However, what you need & what is working is what he will make sure you have.

Dr. Louis goes above and beyond! Along with having back pain from several previous surgeries, I also suffer from chronic daily severe migraines. He helped me with both conditions more than any doctor I've seen in 25 years. I truly appreciate his level of expertise and professionalism. But even more, his compassion.

Caroline S.

Dr. Demetrius Louis is pretty awesome. He cares about his patients enough to look outside the box and research other alternatives to get us pain free without always having to take medicines. I'm a terrible TMJ case, have been for years. He gave me meds, but also gave me trigger point injections which, even after the first one, have helped greatly. He's a nice, caring guy, and so are all the nurses. I'm very happy and relieved I finally found a Dr that understands and is helping so much more than others at just the 2nd visit. Thanks!

I have the utmost respect for Dr. Louis and his staff, he is forthright and honest, he listens when you have questions, and is thorough in his explanations about procedures and timelines. I have met a lot of doctors since my accident, and he is by far the best. I recommend him to all my family and friends.

I wish all physicians treated me like he'd did; with compassion and caring.

My vascular surgeon recommended Dr. Louis after struggling with postoperative pain for four months. He was extremely thorough and meticulous in his assessment of my condition. I am excited and hopeful to begin enjoying my life again!! I will recommend him in an instant and not think twice!!

I consider myself to be extremely fortunate to have been under the care of Dr. Louis & his staff at IPS for the past 18 months. Their pain management expertise has given me a quality of life that I didn't know was possible & for that, I'll be forever grateful.
