I really liked Dr. Vaikutis and felt that he both took my concerns seriously and did what he could to address them. This was, however, only my first visit with him so I tempered the enthusiasm in my score.

Dr. Vaikutis is an excellent doctor. He does more to help me with my illnesses than any of my other specialists! He has helped me tremendously. He is also very honest. When I had a specific illness, he continued to run tests to find out what was causing my illness when other specialists just gave up on me and had no idea how to help me. They washed their hands of me, but Dr. Vaikutis hung in there to find out the answers! We would discuss my next steps/options and determine what was best for me. (I tried to be a very educated/informed patient as well.

John P. Vaikutis, DO reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

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.

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.
