Dr Rajjoub is not only an excellent surgeon, but he is also an amazing human being. He is so patient, empathetic, and patient doctor. Most surgeons we’ve encountered are rather unapproachable. Dr Rajjoub is the total opposite. From the minute he walks through the door, he is open to questions and offers the patient and family his honest, professional opinion. Having surgery is a very stressful time for the patient and their family. Dr Rajjoub and his staff (Amelia) make it so much more bearable!

Dr. Rajjoub was combination of all the good doctor could be. My family and I were so grateful for his quick almost intuitive diagnosis and his quick response. He explained clearly what was happening and my family and I were and are so grateful. He was terrific he gave us the seriousness of the problem and he relieved us with his cheerfulness and inspiring confidence. Put that together with what great work he did on the surgery, he now has a fan club in my family.

Dr. Rajjoub treated me like family. He spoke to me about all of my options and gave me his opinions before deciding on a treatment plan with me. The biggest focus is WITH me. He advocated for what I was feeling and made sure the treatment plan was something that would overall have a positive result. He was very personable and had great bedside manner for the 5 days I was in the hospital. My family and I couldn’t be more thankful for him and the care he provided.

Dr Rajjoub was exceptional at explaining the process to me before surgery, he took the time to come and see me while I was in prep to talk with me about the procedure and confirm which side he was going to work on before surgery. Dr. Rajjoub came in while I was in recovery to check up on me and see if I had any questions. During the procedure, my family was advised on my status. This was an extraordinary experience!! I am so thankful for Dr. Rajjoub, he is a very talented surgeon. The recovery nursing staff was so accommodating and attentive to my needs. Outstanding!!

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.
