5.0 star star star star starKnowledge and experience really matter in the decision making process behind choosing the right team of physicians. Both Dr. Sandhu and his head nurse Michelle are very detailed and have worked together for many years. Their combined experience helped me in my decision to move forward in making what may be the most important decision in my lifetime.

5.0 star star star star starDr Sandhu is extremely professional and spent the time to explain the surgery and answer all of my questions. While in the hospital he stopped by daily to inform me of my progress and answer my questions. He never rushed me through my appointments and always gave me the time I needed. He has a very warm and caring demeanor.
Disclosures
Aqeel A. Sandhu, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.
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.
