5.0 star star star star starDr. Jahromi sat down and went over every possible aspect of my surgery. He took his time and did not rush through my appointment time. He did not act like he was in a hurry to go somewhere else. He seemed genuinely interested in me.

5.0 star star star star starI really like Dr Jahromi, I love his personality, demeanor and I believe he is an awesome doctor. Unfortunately, I would probably tell whomever I referred him to to be prepared to wait as my experience is that he is not on time.

5.0 star star star star starMy family has declared if they have any neurological medical issues, they want no one else, other than Dr. Jahromi to attend to them. There are not enough superlatives to express our confidence in his practice!

5.0 star star star star starFirstly, I was surprised to find how personable Dr. Jahromie was; AND so informative! I cannot begin to express how grateful I am that he was willing to sit with me and my husband and answer all of our questions and concerns. I will soon be moving hours away. We have already decided we will travel back to see him when needed

Thank you Dr Jahromi!

5.0 star star star star starDr. Jahromi is the best! He explains things well, and instills a high degree of confidence in me, his patient, and my family. He is a top practitioner in his field and I trust him to do a thorough job for my surgeries. I have had four surgeries with him thus far, and listening to him and watching him in the Operating Room, double checking that everyone knows what the procedure will be, its location, etc., puts me at ease before each procedure. of course, i hope not to have any more procedures, but he cannot control my biology!

5.0 star star star star starDr. Jahromi is a highly skilled neurosurgeon. That alone would give him a 10 out of 10. However, what sets him above so many is his genuine concern for his patients. He is thorough, compassionate, and pleasant. I feel beyond fortunate he is my doctor.

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.
