5.0 star star star star starDr. Attar is very patient and kind, he listened to me and my concerns. Overall, I felt comfortable having him as my doctor/surgeon. I feel bedside manner is important to all patients. His intern Mark [ ] is also wonderful!

5.0 star star star star starI liked Dr. Attar. He was very professional, I felt very at ease with him. He was very direct and explained that I needed to return to the Spine Center. I did not need an oncology Surgeon, no tumor or cancer. Pain in my legs is due to problems with my spine.

5.0 star star star star starDr.Attar was very knowledgeable and very accommodating to ask me questions so i can clearly communicate my concerns. He was very patient with my questions too. All of these made me feel more confident about his expertise (though I have heard already prior to consult that he is one of the best in his field at NW) as well as with my decision to go with surgery.

5.0 star star star star starHe was very thorough and explained everything in a way that made sense to my 14 year old. He and his team even checked on bone issues that weren't noted as her presenting condition, and I felt the care and consideration she received was amazing. He made us feel like he cared and really saw her as an individual person.

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.
