5.0 star star star star starIt was a stressful Mohs procedure the day before that had gotten too large. Dr Shastri was called to see if he could fix it. He was wonderful and kind and got me in LF hospital the very next day for his surgery. Again..all the people that helped me from the nurses, [ ] the anesthesiologist and Dr Shastri were top grade. Proud they are in the field of medicine.

5.0 star star star star starDr Shastri is a very caring and competent physician. He even returned my call at midnight when I had a concern about the stitches the night of my surgery. He kept in touch with my husband throughout the operation so he wouldnt worry. I appreciate and trust all the Doctors at Northwestern and Dr. Shastri especially.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Shastri was focused, yet calm. He answered my questions and explained what he could about different scenarios based on the Mohs procedure, given that there are still unknowns. Based on further questions I had, he took photos and is following up with Drs. [ ] and [ ] on my behalf. I don’t yet know his skill set as a plastic surgeon, but I appreciate the consult.

Literally he took 15 years off my face I am a new woman. I love that he is so fancy too. Makes me feel special. We are only at the beginning of our work together.

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.
