Good Bedside manner. Give me information about surgery and recovery procedures- not too much in detail because everything is pre printed for the procedure. I didn't feel rushed but he seems to be in a " bit " of a hurry- I do understand that he has to go the different rooms to see other patients.

When you undergo a surgery, you barely interact with your surgeon. He comes into the prep area and makes sure you're all on the same page as to what is about to happen, but then he does his thing while you're under anesthesia. Based on my results, I believe he did a great job!

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.
