He was well prepared, listens, is personable, calming, competent and experienced. He is empathetic to the patients current and future needs. He is very thorough, organized and efficient with the patients medication and pharmacy requirements along with other needed medical supplies. We are very impressed with him and quite comforted with our meeting with him and are also very thankful that some visits may be accomplished via telemed. We are thankful he took us on, extremely pleased, and look forward to a great positive relationship. Dr. Macken was highly recommended and has a great reputation. THANK YOU DR. Macken

He is one of the greatest doctors I’ve encountered at Northwestern. (Dr [ ] is another one). He’s an expert in his field, extremely knowledgeable and current, grounded, curious and passionate about his field and compassionate with his patients. His thorough, collaborative and down to earth approach is always a breath of fresh air. He gets his patients - something you don’t see doctors bother doing very often, if at all.. I’ve had other doctors that are just interested in checking the boxes on their checklists and rushing through their appointments. I’ve often walked away without many takeaways from such appointments. And I get billed for them nonetheless..Dr Macken is the real deal. I trust and respect him and wish more doctors were like him.

I have known Dr Macken for almost 20 years. I followed him from Loyola Medical center to Northwestern Medicine. I have been seizure free for 18 of those years. I cannot stress how important he has been during this journey.
