Great patient care. He spent time explaining the procedure and making sure I understand the risks involved. From consultation, surgery to post Op, Dr. Patel always responds to our questions not only with a high degree of knowledge and with a level of empathy that's much appreciated. We never ever felt any impatience in our interactions. Highly recommend Dr. Patel.

While I was understandably stressed, he took his time and calmly reduced that stress. Finally the procedure he performed was excellent! My recovery has been beyond my expectation. Many thanks to him.

Dr. Patel is extremely capable and also willing to discuss important questions regarding best course of action. My surgery, despite the unexpected cancer findings, was executed very well and I have a minimal scar which speaks to his surgical ability. He made my family feel very welcome during the surgical updates. It has felt like he advocating for my care during the process of addressing further treatment for cancer. I feel comfortable entrusting my life with Dr. Patel.

Dr. Patel was amazing. The way he explained the issue I had and the procedure along with the possible risks and short/long term effects was very helpful. He explained what usually happens with surgeries such as mine but also provided worst case as well. Although I am very nervous about the procedure I left knowing what I was getting myself into and having a better understanding of what to expect.

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.
