A few years ago, Dr. Towne put two stents in my heart. I entered the hospital via the ER. My procedure was not planned. Dr. Towne was assigned to me. He has been watching over me since that event. I feel fortunate that he is on my care team.

I've been in the care of Dr. Towne since 2001 when experiencing a heart attack. I didn't know him and was extremely fearful to go through surgery with a complete unknown (and taken to Sherman Hospital another unknown). Dr. Towne was so kind and soft spoken My fears subsided. In all these years, his compassion and care has never faltered. There's no good or bad days with him. He's always the same, an added value. A benefit otherwise lost, I know I can talk to him by phone any time, no appointment. He's an example for ALL Northwestern physicians.

I went to Dr. Towne after my stroke two years ago. When he met me, he told me that based on my test results, he expected to see someone in a wheelchair. With that blunt assessment, I trusted him to tell me the truth and not sugarcoat what I had to do to avoid another stroke. Well, I'm happy to report that with his encouragement, understanding and patience, I have lost more than 30 pounds and am in training to run a 5K in two weeks.

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.

Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
