Best neurosurgeon I know . I have had 2 back surgeries before Dr Steinke and they were unsuccessful. Dr Steinke did a phenomenal job on my surgery and Fusion. Dr .Steinke continues to monitor by progress and cares immensely for my successful recovery. Amazing doctor and human being . Veterans need doctors like Dr. Steinke to help with their injuries.

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.
