Specifically only for Dr Kansal and her staff who are phenomenal. So attentive, knowledgable, responsive and helpful. Dr Kansal works so hard on her patients behalf. Drs, RNs and staff should be paid far more. Anytime I write a note to her office. I receive response very quickly within 24 hours. They answer every question I have and when I see her in person, she cannot be kinder or more supportive and I just so much appreciate her and her staff. Do you need more doctors like Dr. Kansal. I just did my annual visit and she was so excellent. She addressed every issue I had every concern, and was very collaborative and managing my health.

Nidhi Kansal, 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.

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.
