He began with a lot of informed questions about what led to my being there, and he actively listened to my responses and went deeper when he needed more information. He was very patient; he thoroughly explained his understanding of my condition, and what outcomes might be possible and what the next steps were. He was very careful to be sure that I understood. And with his explaining what is done in general in his field/specialty, as well as him giving context to that work within the broader medical community, I had a very clear concept of what could be done for me at northwestern as well as potential limitations, depending on the outcomes of my tests. In sum my visit with Dr. Mylvaganam was probably one of best I have experienced in my history of medical care, notwithstanding that Northwestern has so many gifted professionals that I have been fortunate to meet and to be under their care.
