My primary care physician, Doctor Patel, is amazing. Not only a pleasure to interact with, but she is deeply compassionate and truly wants to help her patients. She will go above and beyond to make herself available to her Patients in need. My medical history causes some physicians to judge and treat me like a 2nd class citizen. When I shared this with her on my 1st visit I felt compassion instead of judgment. She offers somthing very rare and valuable to her patients, and I would recommend her to anyone I care about.

Disclosures

Imari P. 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.
