Dr. Thakkar just keeps getting better with every visit!! He's kind, professional, and knowledgeable. I love his patient oriented approach. You can follow him without difficulty because he positions his computer to allow the patient to be an active participant in their care and reviews and updates, as necessary, all areas of their care. He defines everything that's requested and fully answers any questions that are asked. Northwestern Hospital has an outstanding asset on the team. Dr. Thakkar. A highly efficient doctor and person. My kind of doctor!!!

Disclosures

Jayesh V. Thakkar, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

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. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
