3.0 star star star star_border star_borderNo problem or complaints about Dr. Kolavo. He ordered a MRI and another back X-ray I am 75 years old and apparently have problems with my spine I never knew about. He also gave me a referral to an orthopedic knee surgeon. I had already been seen by an orthopedic surgeon and given an option for arthroscopic knee surgery which I turned down. This was the reason I came to NW. Dr Kolavo acknowledged he didn’t know about knees.

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.
