Dr. Santi is incredibly knowledgeable. What really sets him apart is his compassion and understanding. He's responsive, and I truly feel he cares about my health. He presents information and makes recommendations in a clear and understandable way. He's easy to talk with and has a genuine warmth about him. There are so many doctors today who I feel see patients as just numbers and often have an arrogance about them. I wish there were more doctors like Dr. Santi.

Disclosures

Christopher G. Santi, 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.
