5.0 star star star star starShe is smart, she is knowledgeable, she is patient, she is kind.Each visit builds on the last one. I know she uses her notes, which must be fantastic. But she recalls necessary information incredibly well.She tailors her approach to what my mom needs.I had to take 4 1/2 hours off work this morning just to get my mom to her visit with Dr Vittal. I started working at 5:30 Am and won’t stop until six tonight so I could leave to take my mom. Worth every minute of it. Absolutely worth it.

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.
