She is the absolute best. So amazing that if I was to move out of state I probably would fly back to see her. Amazingly caring , smart, non judgemental and through. She has been my doctor since 2015 and has helped me through all of my diagnosis. And there was alot. I always felt better after seeing her and that is rare. Seriously....give her a big raise. She's the best doctor you have.

I keep coming back to see Dr. Kansal because she is amazingly smart, thorough, compassionate, and truly works to "connect dots" to solve mysteries and understand the BIG picture. She is completely genuine and dependable. I feel good knowing my primary care is in her hands and I would gladly follow her wherever she may ever go. I hope NM already knows how incredible she is. Sadly, I've seen many MDs in my life, but I've never had a more hardworking, reliable, efficient, and overall wonderful PCP. I'm so fortunate to have her as my doctor. Thank you, Dr. Kansal, for everything. A+++

She was very thorough, but as a fat person not interested in being called obese (and lectured on why that is a better word to use than fat which I completely disagree with) and not interested in losing weight, she spent a lot of time talking about that without even knowing that I have any conditions that are from being fat (while knowing I have a normal heart rate normal blood pressure ect just no information back from labs). She spent the longest amount of time talking about the "weight loss journey" I could take which i am not interested in. Did not make me feel cared for in a weight neutral way. Otherwise thorough and nice.

Dr. Kansal genuinely cares for her patients. Each visit with her feels personalized, I don’t feel like just another patient. I feel well cared for and she asks the right questions tailored to my lifestyle and health condition and I feel she covers everything because of it. Her chosen treatment plans are always easy to understand and makes me comfortable enough to adhere to them. She always has a great care time during each visit. Maria M., the medical assistant assigned to my visit that day, was so pleasant and professional. She made my visit a great experience from beginning to end.

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.
