Dr. Dixit is quite simply an amazing doctor and person. He very literally saved my life, by being aware of a trial program in Houston that treated the untreatable disease that I had acquired this treatment in Houston saved my life. His nurse Danielle.(Dani) was also instrumental in getting me into the trial program in Houston at MD Anderson, again that literally saved my life.. Dr. Dixit's care during my treatments and follow up care has been fantastic. He is a caring person and always so warm and happy to see me. He is the kind of physician who I cannot wait to see each time I arrive at Northwestern for an appointment with him. He takes all the time in the world with me, and is so incredibly smart when it comes to anything to do with the brain, it is astounding. I am so incredibly grateful and lucky to have Dr. Dixit on my care tea!! I will be forever grateful to this wonderful person and phenomenal doctor! Thank you, Northwestern! Also, his nurse Sarah is wonderful and lovely.
