Discover the unforgettable story of Dr. Francis P. "Frank" Lagattuta, a Chicago native whose journey from the alleys of Wrigleyville to the forefront of modern pain medicine is nothing short of remarkable.
In this video, we explore Frank’s incredible path—born in 1958 into a house full of brothers, raised in a working-class neighborhood rich with culture, tradition, and a little chaos. With Sicilian and Slovenian roots, a grandfather who survived the Spanish flu era, and a grandmother almost turned away at Ellis Island, Frank’s family history reads like an immigrant epic.
Raised just blocks from Wrigley Field, Frank grew up playing stickball in alleyways, navigating life during the turbulent '60s, and rising to become a class leader, football player, and theater standout. He went on to attend Loyola University and became a trailblazer in the field of pain management and spinal injection techniques, mentoring dozens of future doctors along the way.
✨ This is the true story of a man who lived the American dream—with grit, grace, and a deep love for family, medicine, and Chicago.
🎥 Hit play to hear how Frank went from sharing sneakers with four brothers… to changing lives in operating rooms across the country.
