Doctor Macken doesn't mind getting technical with those willing/trying to understand everything possible about their condition.

He didn’t take very much time with me, didn’t seem to care about my smaller seizures. I felt he doesn’t really care unless your having major daily seizures. He didn’t take the time to hear about my other symptoms I’m experiencing. I wouldn’t recommend him or the center at North Western it’s a waste of time and money.

Dr. Macken is very knowledgeable. He made me feel at ease in his office and took a lot of time answering my questions about a variety of issues. And he took the time to walk me out. I felt much better about my condition after I left.

Comes off as rude, doesn’t allow you to speak how you feel. Doesn’t consider what you are trying to say in regards to your issues.

Dr Macken is one of the most kindest Dr's I know. He has been taking care of my husband for some time now and always listens to my concerns and takes care of the situation.

Dr MacKen is THE best Epileptologist in Illinois. I've seen many and he was instrumental in finally getting a correct diagnosis after 20+ years with epilepsy. Also he wasn't afraid to say my case was unusual/he didn't know and seek answers. My only complaint was that I had to drive an hour and half to see him, but that's now a moot point with telehealth visits.
