Dr. Melen is a very thorough, kind and knowledgeable physician. I had seen numerous physicians regarding my rare condition and he was the first one to order more extensive testing to try to help me.

Dr. Melen was behind schedule which didn't bother me but he barely spent 5 minutes during my appointment. He did a bare minimum exam of my eyes and asked me s few questions. Since I did not have any neurological issue, he said there wasn't much I could do except try a prism for my double vision.

Dr. Melen is amazing. He spent a lot of time with me and asked me a lot of questions. He also thoroughly explained everything to me. He did a great job with my appointment and he made me very comfortable as eye exams arenâ€™t the most fun. I am very glad to be a patient of his. Overall, he provided me great care at my appointment today.

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.
