I came from downstate Illinois for a second opinion for A-fib. After meeting with Dr. Patil I knew right away that if anyone was going to do anything to me it was him. Very straight forward tells you like it is. So easy to talk to and explains everything that he was going to do so well. I had my ablation on 11/12/21 and just returned for my 90 day follow up. We talked about what's going to happen next and what would happen if I went back into A-fib. I won't go anywhere else for cardiology but Northwestern. Even if I do have to drive 3 hours to get there. Can't say enough about how good he is for Northwestern!
