A First Generation American
Dr. Mitchell Sheinkop grew up in a blue-collar family where perseverance and hard work were a way of life. His beloved parents had fled war-torn Eastern Europe between World War I and World War II due to discrimination and poverty. Mitchell and his brother were later born in the United States, beginning a new chapter for the Sheinkop family in America.
"They saw higher education as the best means of assimilation and medicine as the pinnacle of achievement," he shared.
Sheinkop was born and raised in Chicago with midwestern values. He served in the United States Air Force Reserve as a first lieutenant and captain in the Medical Corps. He got his undergraduate degree at the University of Illinois and medical training at Chicago Medical School, culminating in a residency at Northwestern University.
Reflecting On His Journey
Dr. Mitchell Sheinkop recalls a pivotal moment that shaped his entire career.
"On the first day of my internship at the Chicago Cook County Hospital, we were assembled and advised to seek a Vietnam-era deferment via The Berry Plan," Sheinkop recalled. "That allowed physicians to postpone obligatory military service until they had finished medical school and residency training."
He says his parents' vision and tenacious spirit still inspire him today. "If my parents hadn't set sail when they did, things might not have worked out so well," he shared.
Dr. Sheinkop credits his family's courage and determination for his success. "Their bravery gave me the opportunity to pursue my dreams and make a difference in the field of medicine. Every step I've taken is a testament to their legacy."
Today, he resides in Chicago with his wife of 56 years, Sharon, and the duo continues an active lifestyle as gardeners and skiers, further underscoring the importance of regenerative medicine in maintaining a high quality of life.
Mitchell’s career as a surgeon and visiting lecturer has taken him across the globe, where he has provided educational sessions in countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Hungary, Switzerland, Poland, Russia, Romania, and Austria.
He has authored over 70 works in various esteemed publications and peer-reviewed journals, establishing his reputation as a leading orthopedics and regenerative medicine authority.
Dr. Sheinkop stated, "I am from a hardworking, blue-collar, Midwestern family. I attribute my success in medicine to a strong work ethic, a little luck, and not being afraid to seize opportunities. I went into orthopedics, for example, during the Vietnam era because I recognized the need for that specialty."
