High expertise. Would have liked more info on what to expect post surgery. To be fair, he asked several times if I had any questions. I did ask about recovery time. The answer could have been more detailed. Even better - prep a one pager outlining post surgery expectations and timing to be reviewed prior to surgery for better prep. His medical expertise is high as well as his connection with patients.

Dr. Bhatia has great bed side manner and listened to my needs. He did not underestimate my Pain. He explains the injury and expectations of the surgical plan in thorough detail along with a specific post-op plan. Dr. Bhatia's PA was fabulous and comforting as well. I had femur bone spurs removed, bursectomy and femur labral tear repair with barely any pain after. The 2 laparoscopic incision sites were seamless! I'm getting back to a better quality of Life. Thank you Dr. Bhatia and Team for giving me that life back!

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.
