Swati has a talent for her work and is totally interested in your healing and restoration. She's whip smart, empathetic, explains everything well, and funny as well! She's the 2nd therapist I've had there and she's as great as the 1st.

Swati is very professional she went above and beyond to explain exactly what is occurring with my wrist and how long the healing process will take. Swati is very thorough and attentive. I would definitely recommend Swatia and the Northweatern Hand Surgery team.

Swati is great, simple as that. She is able to explain things quickly but clearly. She remembered all the relevant details from my first visit including not just the injury, but my way of dealing with it, questions I asked, and the physical aspects of my joints/tendons that affected my treatment.

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.
