Dr. Dhara Patel has a gift for telling me what i should do in a way that makes me want to get better. For example when I first meet her she asked how many cokes i drank on a daily basis. After i told her she pleasantly said to me to try to get down to one a day. She said it in an encouraging way. When she asked about exercise she gave me a goal that seemed reasonable. I'm don't know how to put in in words properly, i want to get better and want to follow her advice.

1. I like that she wore a mask and reached out to shake my hand. 2. For some reason I was able to speak honestly with her about how I was feeling. I could see in her eyes how genuinely concerned about how I was. She asked me questions that helped to create a mutual discussion of my health. She offered me a question that caused me to think and that helped me to make a positive decision of change in my life. Thank you very much Dhara.

Disclosures

Dhara Patel, DO reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

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.
