Because he’s one of 2 doctors that’s taken me away from being frustrated depressed, and after 7 years of double vision because of all the medication that they had me on and since I’ve been with Dr Macken after 2 visits he’s reduced my medications and now my double vision is gone, I wish I could have known about Dr Macken along time ago lol

After multiple years of being ignored with Dupage Medical Group, I was close to giving up but decided to try something different one last time and went to Northwestern… with every single person I talked to at Northwestern Medicine, I have felt heard and taken care of. They have empathy, they listen, and they truly want to help. Dr. Macken was so kind that I left his office crying with relief.

I just met with Dr. Macken and I feel I understand my sons [ ] diagnosis and his EEG reading SO much better now. Dr. Macken really took time to go thru the various test results and explain how it manifests and what he is trying to do with the prescribed drugs. I never felt rushed and left feeling much better than before.

He is very caring. He listens to your concerns and symptoms. Even if they don’t match up to the normal, he will look ok into them. Best neurologist I have had in the past 25 years or so.

He was fantastic. He explained my condition very well and helped me understand what is going on and what my future steps will be. I really appreciate the time he took and all of the questions he asked. I felt like the visit with him was like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, it was just refreshing.

Good experience, recommended by other highly qualified doctors. Had a clear command of options for medications, good reasoning and able to explain. Took the time needed to spend with patient.
