Answers questions thoroughly and never seems to be in a hurry. Dr. Matheu is a very kind caring human being, a common statement in community is "now my Dr. is leaving Kish and it's almost impossible to get an appointment with another Dr. in timely fashion and I have many chronic medical issues". Dr. Matheau is a "keeper" so if he should decide to leave do everything you can to keep him at Kish.

Disclosures

James M. Matheu, DO 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.
