Dr. Clark is focused on the patient. He reviews the records first. Washes his hands. He asks great questions and takes thorough notes. He makes sure I understand the course of action and gently reminds me of "things, i.e. tests, etc.) That I should have or should be doing without making me feel discouraged. He also is very kind to his staff. I would recommend him. FYI it seems like he patient (load?) is full, because his schedule seems very backed up.

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.
