I truly appreciate the proper diagnosis after all the objective data (MRI, radiology reports) and subjective info from me were collected. Questions for me were open-ended rather than leading and I felt listened to. Dr Katta heard me and over the treatment decision was made things mixed quickly. My infections caused only the slightest discomfort, which also served as an encouraging sign that we were on the right track. Every day since I have felt a little better!

Dr. Katta has aggressively treated my ailments from my nerve block procedures in my lower back to the cortisone shot in my left knee (performed by Dr. Behl). He's a provider of solutions and is driven by a contagious relentless attitude of 'this isn't hopeless' married to 'we can find a solution to bring relief from suffering.' I feel empowered and encouraged to know he welcomes me to be self-advocating when it comes to my care. It is impossible for me to think it's impossible or like I'm alone in this. Instead I believe meeting with him is tantamount to the assurance that all will be OK and I have days of feeling better ahead of me.

Prasanth Bobby Katta, DO reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

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.
