5.0 star star star star starDr. Desai was very professional with great bedside manner! He is not only a clinical physician but an also educator for patients. He is knowledgeable, and interactive and decision-making. He is not too quick to proceed to surgery.

4.0 star star star star star_borderI just didn't feel like I got a good explanation for my procedure....apparently I didn't ask the right questions. He was pleasant and kind, but I could've used a little more information to feel more comfortable.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Desai avoided doing invasive treatments and opted to rule out more common causes first. I came for a second opinion and I am happy I did so. He identified the potential problem and had me try out a few lifestyle changes. His suggestions was quickly reduced the pain I’ve been experiencing for several months within a couple weeks. Very grateful.
Disclosures
Vikas Desai, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.
External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
