Dr. Babikir is just excellent. He took time to explain all my options and because of him my procedure went very well. It's not easy to find a doctor that really listens and seems to care about the best outcomes for you. I appreciate and am grateful for that.

While I am not in the medical profession, I would say that Dr. Babikir is an extremely talented and knowledgeable surgeon. He operated on me twice (emergency Hartmann procedure and reversal of same), and my recovery went very well each time and I felt wonderful. Dr. Babikir saved my life, and I am very grateful to him for doing so.

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.
