Dr. Cristofanilli listened and responded to everything as I hoped. I won't go elsewhere for my care, apart from prior specialists to whom I am loyal, but I can't say enough about his knowledge, professionalism, and ability to help me in order of importance.

I've been a patient of Dr. Massimo Cristofanilli since 2006. I live outside the Philadelphia, PA area. He is definitely 'My Angel Here on Earth.' Northwestern Memorial is incredibly lucky to have his expertise.

I feel very fortunate to have my care team. I literally feel I can never move away from Chicago (despite the horrendous Winters) due to the presence of this miraculous care team in this city.
