I've been a patient of Dr. Engel for four and a half years. He has me on three different medicines for my bladder and for my prostate. They have helped me. I still have the problem of nocturia, and a good part of the correction for that is found in my behavior. I am drinking fluids(water, juice, milk) late at night. Dr. Engel is personable, but he can be "matter of fact" with me too. I was glad he's letting me see him in one year. I also had a peer health navigator with me this time. I think my part in a Study will be over by August of this year. This was the first time I had someone accompany me in the appointment since I started with Urology at least 20 years ago. The peer health navigator was not in the room when Dr. Engel did the rectal exam. This would be appropriate. Thank you Dr. Engel for a good visit this time.

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.
