The doctor indicated that he does not wish to be questioned. That should not be the position of any doctor. Especially one that is considered a Specialist at an Institution such as yours. Patients attend the Big Three Hospitals in Chicago based on your reputations. I came to Northwestern because, my GI doctor from Rush went to Veterans Hospital.

Knowledgeable doctor and staff thus far. We are very early in the the diagnosis and possible treatment so it is difficult to give a definite reply at this point. Should be able to give a more definitive response in a month or so.

Dr. Kahrilas is top notch. So incredibly intelligent and skilled at what he does. He has helped me a lot. Anyone needing care in his field of endoscopy and upper gastric issues should only go to him and his wonderful staff. He is very nice and concerning. I’m so glad I found him!

I found the doctor to be visibly annoyed/frustrated and condescending during my visit. I don’t know if it was because I couldn’t explain my symptoms as well as he would like and/or if he thought I was wasting his time and/or he was just having a bad start to his day. I’ve been mislead by doctors for the past few years and gone down a rabbit hole of unwarranted concern and unnecessary treatment. To explain the timeline and symptoms takes some time and because I’m not a doctor, takes some assistance and direction. On top of that, I’ve waited three months for a fifteen minute appointment. To have such a short consultation, visible frustration, and condescension was disappointing. I think the doctor changed his tone once he realized why I was concerned. Overall, I trust his conclusions and think he gave good advice. I don’t hold any blame and people are allowed to have bad days, even doctors. But overall, I was disappointed that I waited months for a 15 min appointment to be treated with anything less than 100% respect and care. Best wishes and thank you for your time.

I appreciate his calm manner, his ability to explain medical conditions and treatments in layman's terms, and his continued investment of time to make sure that my previous condition does not return.
