When I was searching for an excellent urologist, my friend said that her mom went to Dr. Geoffery Engel and that he skillfully resolved all of her issues, which were serious. My friend sent me the link to Dr. Engel's biography, and I was amazed by what I read. The grace and humanity that Dr. Engel demonstrated at my arriving late and the intelligence and wisdom that he applied to my health situation are consistent with the reasons why my friend's mom highly recommended him and with the outstanding reputation he has in the biography. I am so grateful.

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.
