Dr. Katzman was extremely patient, kind, and attentive. I scheduled my visit with some concern and urgency, and despite an uncomfortable condition, Dr. Katzman said and did everything to make sure I felt comfortable. He assessed the situation, gave his opinion, consulted his colleagues, was thorough in his questioning to me, gave me multiple approaches to a treatment, and was transparent all the way through. He truly seemed to care about resolving my condition, and for that, I could not be more appreciative.

Dr. Katzman was a good find! A lot of times you never know who you're getting when you make an appointment with a doctor that you don't know, however, his style definitely was a collaborative approach which was appreciated. He quickly diagnosed and prescribed Effective medicines for both my daughters, each having different acne concerns. I feel like he listened to me as a parent to my concerns. He Was not condescending at all when I made suggestions. He listened and then gave me his medical opinion which clearly was correct as both my daughters are feeling and looking better within a week of starting treatment per his recommendations. I would highly recommend Dr. Katzman as I feel he has a good approach, is able to deal with patients easily, he reads personalities well and seems to be a very bright young man.

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.
