5.0 star star star star starI will recommend Dr. Brannigan anytime I get the chance. He listened to my concerns and laid out my options with an explanation for everything. Unfortunately I couldn’t find answers anywhere else, however Dr. Brannigan provided them with ease. Highly recommended.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Brannigan was incredibly professional during both the consultation and encounter for my vasectomy. I appreciate that he presented me with all the relevant information for the procedure, from possibility of physical complications (which I have fortunately not yet experienced) to the potential for regret. Dr. Brannigan succeeded at remaining objective yet supportive of a significant life decision, and acknowledged each of my responses to the information he provided (e.g. if I decide I want children, I would like my future self to adopt instead). During the procedure, he provided a comfortable environment (or at least as comfortable as a minor surgery can get) and reassured me in the moments when I began to overanalyze the sensations I was experiencing.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Brannigan is extraordinarily experienced, he listened intently to my questions and alleviated my concerns. He performed my procedure skillfully with care while maintaining a kindness that kept me relaxed through the procedure. As a physician myself, I would seek his care again and recommend loved ones to see him.

5.0 star star star star starThe doctor and his team were fantastic. I felt light headed a few times during the procedure and they were on top of it right away, providing a wet cool cloth for my head and a fan blowing on me. They kept me occupied while the doctor quickly finished. His confidence and attitude helped reassure me and keep me relaxed.

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.
