Dr. Pant displayed the same exemplary qualities as noted above (i.e. treated me respectfully, kindly listened to my perspectives & concerns, etc.), and he was compassionate about the circumstances I had and presently face. He was confident in his proposed treatment plan and explained his recommendation thoroughly & in a way that was easily understood. He returned a phone call (when I anticipated a nurse returning the call) to answer some questions I had following my appointment. Trustworthy professional—essential quality for a doctor!

If there was a 100 score I would rank Dr. Pant 100. Unfortunate circumstances, on a couple levels aside from the obvious diagnosis, brought me to Northwestern’s Lake Forest Hospital. Bare in mind NWM LF Hospital is an hour and 15 min from our home. The very first day my husband and I met Dr Pant and his PA, Casey, the fear in our hearts and minds were lessened and we knew we were where we’d get the very best care. It’s been more than six months now and I feel just as comfortable and confident in Dr Pant today that I did in the very beginning. He and his staff are extremely prompt in responding to messages in MyChart and before each treatment he meets with me privately to answer each of the (sometimes many) questions I come with. He takes as much time as I need and answers each question patiently until he knows I’m comfortable with his answers. The confidence and bedside manner comes naturally and is just priceless.
