Dr. Sheinkop’s Roots and Journey in Medicine

Dr. Mitchell Sheinkop’s life story reflects the values of hard work and perseverance. Born to parents who fled Eastern Europe between the World Wars, Mitchell and his brother were raised in Chicago, where their family embraced education as a means of opportunity.

“They believed that higher education was the key to success, and medicine was the pinnacle,” Dr. Sheinkop shared.

Following this philosophy, Dr. Sheinkop earned his undergraduate degree at the University of Illinois, completed medical training at Chicago Medical School, and finished his residency at Northwestern University. He also served as a first lieutenant and captain in the United States Air Force Reserve Medical Corps.

Reflecting on a formative career moment, Dr. Sheinkop recalled:
“On my first day as an intern at Chicago Cook County Hospital, we were advised to apply for The Berry Plan, which allowed physicians to delay military service until completing medical training. That shaped my entire career path.”

Dr. Sheinkop credits his parents’ courage for his success:
“If they hadn’t set sail when they did, my opportunities might have been vastly different.”

He now lives in Chicago with Sharon, his wife of 56 years. They enjoy gardening and skiing, further highlighting the importance of staying active—something regenerative medicine supports.

Throughout his career, Dr. Sheinkop has traveled globally, delivering lectures in countries including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Hungary, and Poland. He has also authored more than 70 articles in peer-reviewed journals, establishing himself as an authority in orthopedics and regenerative medicine.

“I come from a hardworking, blue-collar family. My success comes from a mix of effort, luck, and recognizing opportunities—like pursuing orthopedics during the Vietnam era when there was high demand for that specialty.”
