He's very nice, I feel comfortable taking with him. He explained my treatment options to me and about what I should expect after surgery. He presents as a "down to earth" type of doctor and is definitely concerned about me as a patient. Some other doctors just "pass you off" and treat you like a number. I definitely would recommend him to anyone that has a hand issue.

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.

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.
