5.0 star star star star starI Just know and APPRECIATE the extraordinary physician you have in Dr. Aparna Kalyan. She speaks TO her patients and not at them. She includes her patients in her plan of care rather than saying that there's 'one size fits all' in treating her patients. She returns messages with lightning speed, never rushes her time spent with her patients either in person, on the phone, or is messaging. Aparna Kalyan is the BEST of the BEST. I'm honored to be her patient. Please treasure this special Physician.

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.
