4.0 star star star star star_borderGenerally, I have been satisfied with Dr. Saghir. However, I have mentioned my desperation with my weight on several occasions, and only on this past occasion, did she recommend that I visit the metabolic clinic for weight loss. Of course, there is a several month lag time before I can get a new patient appointment there. I am extremely disappointed with the delay in setting me on this path. It will have been two years of my seeing Dr. Saghir until I get care at the metabolic clinic. It shouldn’t happen like this.

3.0 star star star star_border star_borderShe is thorough- but often hard to get through all the things I want to talk about- also runs late which is not considerate of my time. I waited over a half hour for her to come in and I was one of the first appointments of the day.

2.0 star star star_border star_border star_borderMy experience with Dr. Saghir has been that she is just checking boxes. My annual exam was incomplete and much of my body was not examined. I've come in with a series of physical issues, each one she's addressed in complete isolation. She'd run tests and then tell me nothing was wrong - even though the symptoms were real. It later became clear that I was experiencing intense anxiety and depression. As a DO, I would expect a holistic and proactive approach. If I'm experience heart and digestive issues - and saying I'm feeling anxious - I'd expect her to at least connect the dots and speak with me about how my body is reacting to my mental state. Not just tell me each isolated complaint isn't valid. There was no followup, no recommendations for lifestyle changes, no discussions about mental health. Yes - she will see you, order tests, and eventually tell you the results. This might be good enough for an ear infection. But for anything else, it's simply not adequate medical care.
Disclosures
Farha Saghir, DO reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.
External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
