5.0 star star star star starDr. Pattisapu was personable, spent a lot of time answering my questions, and he did not make me feel like I was just a "number". He was very knowledgeable and explained everything in a way that people who don't have medical backgrounds could understand. I'm so glad he will be a part of my care team!

5.0 star star star star starDr. Pattisapu has carefully monitored the serious problems with my lungs. Thanks to him I received a vest used twice daily to help keep my lungs clear along with a nebulizer. He is also trying to get a newly released medication to improve my breathing despite knowing that Silver Script will no doubt try to deny this medicine as they have constantly done with other medications since I was diagnosed with Parkinson's.

5.0 star star star star starThis doctor was fantastic. He didn't just look at the sleep apnea test results and adjust the cpap machine or order another test. He took the time to look at several conditions that interfere with my son's sleep patterns. He created a plan that involved other specialists to take a comprehensive approach to treatment of the whole patient. I was genuinely impressed.

5.0 star star star star starHe is a rock star. The doctor does a thorough exam and history. He acts as an advocate for me as a patient. Because of my current condition he made sure that a C T scan of my chest was ordered. Since this will be done soon and my deductibles are paid I won't have to be worried about the expense which can be a problem for me as I am retired. Finally, I was informed about a new medication that would be available soon and could be very beneficial for me.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Pattisapu is an absolute gem! During my first visit, he explained things in a way that no other doctor has ever done. I've been living with Parkinson's for 25 years, and I also have Parkinson's-induced scoliosis. He took the time to explain how my scoliosis is affecting my breathing and why. He didn't rush the appointment; instead, he made sure I had a better understanding of what was happening with my lungs. He genuinely cares about his patients! One thing that really stood out was when he told me, "You are a winner." I was a bit shocked by that statement, given all the health issues I'm dealing with right now. But then he explained that my cognitive function hasn't been affected by my Parkinson's. My voice is still strong, and my speech isn't garbled. That makes you a winner in my book because next time you have to explain your symptoms, they'll be able to hear and understand what you're saying. Those four words, "you are a winner," have given me a whole new outlook and hope.

5.0 star star star star starDoctor Pattisapu was preparing for my appointment by reviewing all my tests I had done prior to my appointment. He listened to my concerns and answers my questions. He had a "next step" plan ready to discuss with me. He is very pleasant and put me at ease during my appointment.

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.
