It is apparent to me,, that Dr. Padmaja Vittal loves her work and cares about her patient. She takes time to listen and then makes good recommendations on how to manage symptoms. Of all the medical offices we've been to, Northwestern gives us the most comprehensive aftercare summary. I especially like the table listing the times and dosages of the meds.
