5.0 star star star star starThis was a surgery to remove cataract of my second eye, his instructions were as comprehensive as the first time. There were process changes showing how much these surgery’s have progressed. Would recommend Dr Basti: he is talented, he keeps up with his speciality and is as thorough on pre & post surgical directions as he was 3 years ago.

5.0 star star star star starDr Basti is a great surgeon. The next day when I returns for follow up and my eye covering removed, I was overwhelmed how well and clear I could see out of my eye. He explains everything and ask if I had questions of which he answered. He had a great team.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Basti is the best surgeon. His surgical staff are amazing. They made me so comfortable. The surgery itself was free of pain. I am overwhelmed with the clarity of my eyes after surgery. I had surgery on both eyes and never had any pain or discomfort. I feel like I have new eyes!

5.0 star star star star starHe is the best cataract surgeon & has a reputation as the best. It was possible I’d have double vision after surgery because of nerve palsy’s from a brain tumor that was removed (benign) and I did not have double vision.

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.
