He’s great. Sure glad he’s on my team. No complaints from me. He listens to my concerns. Then he gets a game plan that I always agree with and it always seems to work for the best.

On my first visit, I felt he really listened to me. He was able to diagnose an extremely rare condition, which I suspected I had. Other doctors just gaslighted me, and told me I couldn't possibly have this condition because "it was so rare." At other follow-up visits, he listened and asked on-point questions. I wanted a doctor who I could trust, and I definitely found that doctor in Dr. Shetty.

Doctor shetty, is absolutely wonderfull. I never feel any time pressure, during visits. Doctor Shetty makes time to answer all questions, not always the answer I want to heard, but telling it like it is. He goes out of his way to adjust my medicine, to better my life and finding solutions to lower symptoms. He is a very good listener and make me feel seen, heard and helped. So much so I am willing to pay a lot of money to see him As I am not American. He seems very professional but first of all he seems human.

Engaged, prepared; balanced technical work very well with a patient-centered approach. Made very human connections while maintaining professional purpose, poise, and the service leadership needed in a doctor-patient situation. Dedicated appropriate time to the appointment and to the individual steps within the appointment. The only negative for me is that I won’t get to work with him, as he believes I need to work with a different Neuro sub-specialty. Though I have an unknown journey ahead of me still, I left Dr. Shetty’s exam room feeling positive and hopeful. All credit to Dr. Shetty.

Disclosures

Neil Kanta Shetty, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

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.
