Patient Reviews
Nov 12, 2024
Dr. Chandler removed a tumor from my brain a month ago. It was challenging and done with incredible skill. My recovery has been swift. Several people in the healthcare field had told me before the operation, 'Dr. Chandler is brilliant.' I agree! I wholeheartedly recommend him and his talented and caring team at Northwestern.
