I truly can't say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Polsley. He takes the time to really listen to all of my concerns and always provides thoughtful, detailed feedback. I feel completely comfortable bringing up any issues or questions, and I never feel rushed or like "just another patient" which is something I've unfortunately experienced with other doctors in the past. I'm incredibly thankful and grateful to have him as my doctor. His professionalism, empathy, and dedication to patient care is exceptional. I would confidently recommend him to any of my close family members and friends.

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.
