Dr. Divi and his team were incredible! I had multiple severely herniated discs that were also causing sciatica. For nearly 3 months, I was unable to walk, stand or sit up without considerable pain. Dr. Divi walked me through my options after thoroughly reviewing me in person and reviewing my my X-rays and MRI. We eventually decided on a microdiscectomy. He was able to schedule me quickly, and the procedure went flawlessly. I left the hospital the same day, and my pain was immediately gone. I am only 6 weeks removed, but I feel 100% as I did prior to my injury. Dr. Divi was professional, incredibly thorough, empathetic, and most importantly, the surgery went perfectly. This procedure completely changed my life and gave me my body back. I could not be happier with what he has done for me, and I would recommend him to anyone.

He was actually referred to me by NW, but I would have asked for him anyway, because he is one of only a few that did minimally invasive surgery. I think I developed a real rapport with him when I actually pronounced his name correctly upon meeting him. It really helped that I also have a friend with the name "[ ]" to practice with. He explained my options, and was pleased, I think, that my evaluation of my needs met his as well.

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.
