I generally dread going to the doctor's office but not with Dr. Bhandari _ I always look forward to our visits. She is extremely thorough and listens to her patients. She is someone I would recommend to anyone who is seeking a doctor who listens, cares, and comes up with solutions. Also, she's always in such a good mood, so it really helps with calming the nerves. I believe if a doctor comes in with a smile/welcoming gesture _ it can really change your experience with health care.

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.

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.
