5.0 star star star star starNice guy. he saw I came early and went out to greet me and saw me early which really helped since I had a busy day ahead. He gave me a thorough exam, asked questions, listened to me and gave me treatment. Couldn't ask for any better.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Vakharia embodies what patient care is all about. He gave me options and allowed me to choose based on my needs as a patient. He consulted when he wanted a second opinion. These are basic things all physicians should be doing. There needs to be more physicians like Dr. Vakharia in this world.

5.0 star star star star starHe is attentive, responsive and efficient. Both visits, he has come to get me from the waiting room himself. He's also practical. I have told numerous people today how he personally reached out to ensure I was able to see him this week. And, I learned that today was his research day and he offered me a time anyway!

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.
