Myself and my family praise God for Dr. Hac. My family and I feel safe and comfortable with him and completely trust his opinion. After suffering from a debilitating complex central nervous system disorder for over two decades, seeing several doctors, and almost giving up hope, Dr Hac was able to diagnose me and help my symptoms improve. Outstanding Doctor, as well as his team, and all Northwestern Doctors I was referred to by Dr. Hac.

He was extremely knowledgeable about my condition, talked to me about multi-layered care that I've been looking for in a treatment plan, including next steps and supplementary treatments outside of his neurological care that might help. He answered all of my questions, many before I even posed them aloud to be honest. The visit felt comprehensive and I never felt rushed. Probably the best doctor visit I've had since my diagnosis five years ago.
