Dr. Edward B.Li is very kind and understanding. He puts you at ease, you know he cares. And even though he wears his mask, I can tell that he's smiling! That's so important for me, because I'm usually so anxious at the doctor's office when I am the patient. It's a childhood trauma thing that apparently I haven't figured out how to fix yet. Haha! But yes, I'd definitely recommend Dr. Li to anyone...

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.
