5.0 star star star star starI had an ongoing atypical GI problem. Dr Kahrilas listened very well to my symptoms and thoughts about the problem. He reviewed previous medical procedures and made a suggestion that I’m now following to deal with the issue. Very happy to have found a likely solution

1.0 star star_border star_border star_border star_borderDoctor was extremely rude, had an enormous ego, and didn’t care about side effects I was experiencing from a medication. Kept telling me that they were not real and tried to make me feel stupid the entire time. Terrible experience. Made me feel bad for even asking questions, even though he admitted we don’t know why that medication works for its intended use.

1.0 star star_border star_border star_border star_borderHe didn’t even introduce himself. He was very rude and telling me I don’t have acid reflux and saying he doesn’t know what’s wrong. He only spoke with me for 10 minutes though the appointment was over an hour long. For sure transferring care to someone who actually cares.

5.0 star star star star starThe punctuation is very important, both for the Dr and the patient. I feel that it is the responsibility of each one of us and respect the time of the demos. Thank you very much for your commitment to responsibility and professionalism

1.0 star star_border star_border star_border star_borderI would not recommend Dr. Kahrilas, my tooth was chipped during my endo procedure. My recent follow-up appointment the doctor was insensitive, and degrading regarding my care and possible resolutions. He also appeared to smirk as he was speaking and being insensitive. The behavior was very unprofessional and seemed deliberated. I will not recommend this doctor based on this his behavior and bedside manner.

2.0 star star star_border star_border star_borderDr. seemed to lack interest in my condition and offered no "thoughts" on causes for that condition. Visit time seemed unreasonably short. Perhaps the endoscopy will answer the questions I had before, during and, still, after the doctor's visit.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Kahrilas really surprised me as to how much he knew concerning endometriosis. How he was able to get to what might be the cause of my current illness so quickly simply reflects that he has been doing this for a very long time, and is skilled in this profession.I like that he's straight forward, and he listens carefully to his patients. Although I am nervous about the procedure I'm scheduled to have, I felt a sense of calmness after speaking with him.

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.
