I can't say enough great things about Dr. Savan Patel and Dr. [name]. Both of my surgeries were successful, and their skill and professionalism gave me so much peace of mind during a stressful time. They took the time to answer my questions and made sure I felt supported throughout the entire process. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for outstanding orthopedic care.

Dr Patel provided a comfortable place to discuss the status of my broken ankle. He presented as a calm, skilled, caring, professional & caring doctor. He took the time to explain everything, asked if I had any questions and as if he would be happy to respond; not as if he wanted me to hurry & leave. Everyone in that office was extremely kind & helpful & the experience was greatly appreciated.

Disclosures

Savan D. Patel, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

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.
