I can't say enough great things about my experience with Jesal D. Patel at Northwestern Medicine. From the very first session, they were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. They took the time to understand my injury and tailor a treatment plan that not only helped me recover but also strengthened me to prevent future issues. Every appointment was a mix of encouragement, challenge, and noticeable progress. His positivity and clear communication made me feel comfortable and motivated throughout the process. Thanks to Jesal D. Patel, I'm feeling more confident towards my treatment. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled physical therapist!

Jesal is spot on with every session we have had together. He understands the muscular structure of the body and works with exercises that are very specific to the affected areas. He listened to my concerns, put together a playbook for short and long term results, and then puts the therapy in motion each session, building on positive results. Jesal's has an empathetic personality, but also expects his patients to do the work. He is a perfect combination of understanding and getting the results that I needed - to get on the path of a pain free situation. I would highly recommend Jesal to anyone needing Physical Therapy for any physical issues.

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.
