Dr. H Thakkar is the BEST GP I have ever seen and I am 62 yrs old. Her calm and thorough demeanor is wonderful. She takes time w/me to talk about things and I am never rushed. I would and have recommended her several times in the past year. She is top notch for sure.

I am always treated like I am the only patient they have at the time. I know it's a busy office but they def don't put out a rushed feel. I have been dealing with some mental health issues as well as some other physical stuff. Dr H cares. Healthcare is overwhelmed with all the paperwork and so many patients. I never feel their pressure. She has a great team around her and I appreciate they are the same team since I started going to her. Keeping staff is a reflection of how they are treated. It seems they are treated well. Thank you Dr H!

Disclosures

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.
