5.0 star star star star starIt is a 10 now, hopefully it remains a 10 following my scheduled decompression. Dr Dahdaleh was professional and explained my condition and presented my options along with his professional recommendation. I did not feel rushed during the appointment and Dr Dahdaleh took the appropriate time with me.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Dahdaleh is such a great Neurosurgeon! I am fortunate that I am under his care. He performed spinal fusion surgery on me and I have had excellent results. Being a physician myself, I was well aware that this is a complicated surgery. Chances of complications are significant. Thus it was a difficult decision for me. Dr. Dahdaleh has the best bedside manner and is so kind. He explains things very well and is thorough with his examination. He treats his patients with a lot of respect. These qualities are hard to come by specially in surgeons as their work is very challenging. I am going to follow up with him wherever he is practicing. In addition to being an excellent surgeon, the words that describe Dr Dahdaleh are kind, caring and respectful.

3.0 star star star star_border star_borderIt was tough having to wait three months to be seen after being postponed twice. I do think he was kind and attentive, but it just wasn’t the right fit for my needs, and that was frustrating after such a long wait.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Dahdaleh took the time and effort to explain to me my spine condition to the level of my understanding that no other doctor ever did to me. Very candid in presenting options and the pros and cons of each. He treated me an important person.

5.0 star star star star starHe took his time in explaining the options. Wanted to ensure we understood them and was not focusing on the most invasive and expensive option, but wanted to ensure all avenues were explored in advance of the next step.

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.
