Dr. I. Patel is a wonderful doctor! She is caring and thorough. I’d give her a 10 except that the wait time to see her is long - today was an hour and a half and my appointment was at 9:15 am.

I have total and complete confidence in Dr. Patel. She is kind, responsive, and knowledgeable. She makes sure I understand what is happening with my healthcare plan; she takes the time to answer my questions; and she discusses (not just tells me) with me potential changes in my plan. Almost a year ago I moved 65miles away from Sycamore, but choose to stay with Dr. Patel. She is great!

OMG! She is the absolute best! I tell all my friends about “Dr. Sunshine”. That is how I address her. She always takes her time with every patient. . .so she runs behind. . .but she is worth it. She answers all of your questions and seems to genuinely care about her patients. My friends don’t have the same relationship with their doctors as I have with her! She is the absolute best! She deserves a bigger paycheck, employee of the year and a vacation. I absolutely love her. She makes you feel so good about yourself even when you can’t see it in yourself!!!!

Disclosures

Ilaxi P. Patel, DO reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

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. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
