5.0 star star star star starBecause of the high quality care I received While I was being diagnosed with a brain tumor and then my time at the hospital before and after surgery and then the excellent follow up that I have received since a very successive surgical procedure to remove a large brain tumor.

4.0 star star star star star_borderDr. Chandler was nice and all dress up, he even looked very professional during the visit. He might of been in a hurry, but he should slow down and, we are all wearing masks, so the patients can hear and understand what he's telling them. I still would highly recommend Dr. Chandler to anyone who is in need of this type of Doctor, For sure!!

0.0 star_border star_border star_border star_border star_borderThe resident was thorough, knowledgeable, and empathetic. Dr. Chandler was in for a minute if I’m being generous, stood over me the whole time and told me I wasn’t having the symptoms I had just reported to the resident and written on my intake form. He didn’t examine me in any way or ask me any questions, and then left. Didn’t address any of the concerns the resident had shared with me prior to Dr. Chandler entering the exam room. Or the concerns on my MRI report. Absolutely horrible interpersonal skills, unless it’s his intent to be dismissive and condescending without listening to his patients.
Disclosures

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.
