5.0 star star star star starBesides being knowledgeable and experienced in his surgical practice, Dr. Basti listens to his patient's concerns with great patience; he brings to his practice the gift of his gentle compassion to assure his patients feel they are being heard, that their concerns are valid, and that they are being cared for.

4.0 star star star star star_borderHe’s a talented doctor and his care is greatly appreciated…however in my experience, he has a penchant for being extremely late for his appointments which is extremely annoying for the patient.

5.0 star star star star starHe is clearly a clinician who cares about his patients, and wants them to understand what is going to happen. He takes the time he needs with each, and is obviously extraordinarily skilled as well. I feel completely confident in his care.

4.0 star star star star star_borderDr. Basti seems very competent, but the entire examination procedure seems like an assembly line, with the primary purpose seeming to be to get you through as fast as possible. Not wasting time is appreciated, but the result of the overall exam is impersonal.

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.
