Dr. Liszewski is enthusiastic about his job and a matter-of-fact in his approach. I liked that he didn’t tell me to stop dyeing my hair. Instead, he pointed out that he could give me alternatives to things I’m allergic to , even before the patch testing was conducted. He was also flexible with my work schedule. He managed to make a last-minute change to accommodate my needs. Thank you!

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.

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.
