5.0 star star star star starDr. Behl has been great in the diagnosing and treatment of my injuries. He is kind and does not speak down to me during conversations. He took the time to go through my MRI results step by step so I could fully understand the findings and the plan of care.

5.0 star star star star starthe majority of the appointment is spent with the medical assistant taking information and I really only spoke with Dr. Behl for under 10 minutes. However, he seemed to have thoroughly reviewed my chart and asked questions in a non-patronizing manner to gain better understanding of my condition. He has years of experience in his field and knows what he is talking about. He explained things simply so I could understand the possible diagnostic conditions that may be present. He ordered an MRI to rule out some of those options and then walked me over to the MRI appointment desk himself. He has a kind disposition.

5.0 star star star star starA good, thorough examination, but he kept the process moving well. My only downtime was while he examined my x-rays, which is ti be expected. Dr Behl took the time to explain my issues, possible solutions, and, in the end, we chose a solution that will help me for quite a while.

5.0 star star star star starHe's simply great. I get shoulder steroid injections from him and it helps some. My particular case is advanced and requires surgery to fix, otherwise I feel the injections would last much longer. As an individual he's a compassionate man with understanding and reason.

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.
