Dr. Tsarwhas exemplifies excellence in his field, combining a wealth of knowledge with a sincere dedication to his patients' well-being. Even after undergoing major surgery himself, he continues to show unwavering commitment, always fully present and radiating compassion in every interaction. He knows how to say my name (this is key) and has skillfully guided me through this challenging journey, offering insights that resonate deeply. His steadfast belief in me has been a source of immense strength and encouragement, and that support means more to me than words can express. He has never wavered in his commitment, standing by my side through thick and thin. I am profoundly grateful for his remarkable care and unwavering support!

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.
