5.0 star star star star starDr. Vikram Aggarwal has a vast store of knowledge, but also looks for new ways to help patients. And he really cares about his patients. Very lucky that circumstances led to us meeting him as Frank’s nephrologist.

5.0 star star star star starMy recommendation is for Dr Aggarwal as I am not qualified to assess "NM Nephrology". Dr Aggarwal gave me the utmost attention and dialogued with me so that he could constructively share his view as a result of my input and his assessment.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Aggarwal does his homework before my appointment with him. He is always knowledgeable about my history of ckd and my most recent tests, so when I meet with him he is not spending time speed reading my chart, but addresses the issues and gives full and complete answers to my questions. His knowledge is combined with an empathetic understanding of my concerns.

5.0 star star star star starBeen doing home dialysis for more than 5 yrs, with all but 11 months of that under Dr. Aggarwal’s care. The first 11 months were chaotic, resulting in 2 hospitalizations related to dialysis issues that the prior clinic & nephrologist didn’t properly diagnose. Luckily, Dr. Aggarwal was making rounds with his students in the middle of the last dialysis-related hospitalization & diagnosed something instantly that all the other doctors had missed. He listens and reacts, using his formidable professional knowledge and acute observations to pick the best adjustments. And as an added blessing, he’s a caring person. Been with him ever since; there have not been any further dialysis-related hospitalizations.

5.0 star star star star starHe is always available to answer any questions, assist care collaboration with outside providers and truly makes us feel he genuinely cares about my son’s care. He is proactive at addressing any concerns before they become health concerns and that is so appreciated.

5.0 star star star star starAs per above, Dr. Vikram Aggarwal’s excellent. He synthesizes what he’s seeing and hearing with his vast medical knowledge and then creates a plan in a warmly empathetic way. Feel very lucky to have him as nephrologist.

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.
