5.0 star star star star starI truly believe my surgeon saved my life. From the very beginning, he was compassionate, professional, and incredibly attentive. He took the time to explain everything in detail, answered all of my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable and informed before the procedure. His skill and expertise gave me complete confidence, and my recovery has been smooth thanks to the excellent care I received. Not only is he an outstanding surgeon, but he is also a kind and empathetic human being. I am beyond grateful for him and would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you for everything you've done for me.

5.0 star star star star starI would especially like to recognize my surgeon, Dr. Anand Desai, MD, who did an outstanding job. He was extremely empathetic, professional, and patient. He took the time to explain the procedure to me in a clear and detailed way before surgery, which I truly appreciated and which gave me a great sense of confidence and peace of mind. His bedside manner and dedication to his patients are exceptional. Overall, I felt very well cared for throughout the entire process. I am truly grateful to the entire medical and nursing team for their support, kindness, and professionalism. I would highly recommend this hospital and Dr. Anand Desai, MD, without hesitation.
Disclosures
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.
