My primary of 20+ yrs retired 12/24...and I decided to align with Dr Polsley. My routine appointment was absolutely outstanding! He spent over 30 mins with me, inquiring on my (and family) entire/comprehensive medical history We discussed at length (panel by panel) the results of my recent blood tests..... 'we' questioned my current 'satin' med and decided to try something new. Further given I'm 70 yrs old Dr Polsley suggested and scheduled some routine tests ....which I've never had before...even though I was with my other Dr for 20 +yrs!! Can't say enough positives things ....its refreshing to have someone of this caliber be so inquisitive and interested in my health. NWM.... You need more Dr Polsley(s)!!

I had my first visit with Kevin, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Unlike many doctors who rush through appointments, he took his time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explain the plan moving forward. He was incredibly kind, patient, and made me feel truly cared for. What stood out the most was how he ended the visit by saying, "Reach out if you need anything," in such a genuine way_almost like family. That level of compassion and attentiveness is rare. I highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking for a doctor who truly prioritizes their patients!

Disclosures

Kevin R. Polsley, 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.
