I commute 2 to 3 hours to see Dr.hirano. Every mile is worth seeing him. I'm so blessed to have this doctor for my care. He is so caring excellent bedside manners. I have two incurable diseases. He puts me at ease with each visit. Not the type to just do surgery,but find medical alternatives first.His staff are also excellent. I like having the ability to text him questions & pleased how fast he returns his messages. Thank you Dr.Hirano !

Due to the extent of my esophageal problems, my gastro doctor in Elgin, IL sent me directly to Dr. Hirano for treatment, as he felt that my condition should be handled at Northwestern. Dr. Hirano is a wonderful doctor, has superb medical knowledge, takes the time to address your condition and advises next steps and will always get you in for testing if there is a tight schedule. I would advise anyone to directly see Dr. Hirano - I have full faith in him to handle my condition.

Awesome doctor. I have been through about 25 endoscopes over the past 5 years including the elimination diet while seeing Dr Hirano and could not be happier that he is my doctor.
