5.0 star star star star starHe is a pioneer in medicine forging forward taking on mine and many other surgeries that have never been attempted, accomplished, or tackled with successful results. He saved my life and many others when we had no hope of survival except for Dr. Bharat's skillful hands and willingness to try to cure us.

5.0 star star star star starDr Bharat was able to do my surgery robotically when another surgeon at another hospital was planning on doing a sternotomy. He seems like a true expert_knew what to plan for in surgery and did it without complications. I'm so grateful.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Bharat was kind and spared the time to help identify the problem with my extreme nausea. He also scheduled a dilation to help resolve my hiatal hernia fundoplication post-surgical issues. He is brilliant AND caring, which is a remarkable (and often rare) quality in a physician.

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.
