Dr. Hecker is simply the best! He is fierce in his mission to understand and heal the whole person, making sense of past and present. My life really matters to him, with an urgency that I had never experienced. He's a polymath with all of the curiosity, knowledge, and expertise that I want applied to me, to my life. He's a warrior for truth and caring. He exemplifies the whole purpose of "having a doctor". Live or die, I know I have the best outcomes in his hands.

Dr. Hecker and his team took the time to get to know me during my visit and I didn't feel rushed or like I was "just a number" in the system. He cared about my concerns and did some follow up testing as preventative measures for some symptoms I've been experiencing. He was also able to get me referred to an ENT specialist to follow up on some other issues I'm having. It was a great visit.

Disclosures

Roger V. Hecker, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

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.
