Dr. Lu is very smart, pleasant and explained everything very well. He listened and answered all of my questions which is great since when making an appointment patients are lead to believe that you can only address one concern at a time and if you have more than one concern you have to make a new appointment which causes you to have to search outside of NM. Dr. Lu also removed a few skin tags and did an outstanding job. Overall he seems like a great guy and I am thankful for his professionalism and dedication.

Dr. Chen could have had better bedside manner. I felt as though the visit was rushed, and when I asked him questions on product recommendations or asked about my skin care routine, he briefly answered but kept referring me to his notes that he would have in the end of visit report. I also felt as though he did not ask me enough questions about the problem I was having.

Disclosures

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.
