5.0 star star star star starGreat bedside manner. We had an informed discussion together and she listened. She didn't jump the gun in her diagnosis and she didn't ask me arbitrary questions. She came in prepared, read my chart, and sought to understand. I wish every physician at NW was like this. Many are, but she was by far, the best.

5.0 star star star star starI've been coming to Northwestern and numerous other doctors and hospitals for going on 6 years in September dealing with my situation. Doctors knowing my situation before I got there only to waste time and tell me they were sorry they couldn't help me. Depressing and disappointing. The first time I met Dr. Patel she got straight to the point helping me to find answers and finally solutions to this horrible disease.
