Excellent personable doctor. On my first visit he removed the growth on my left forearm painlessly and submitted it for a biopsy. Upon a finding of Melanoma, he arranged for me a referral to an oncology surgeon who performed a procedure to verify whether the Melanoma had spread to other parts of my body. The result was that it had not spread. On this most recent visit Dr Kim performed a total body exam to verify that there were no other suspicious growths. There were not and I now have peace of mind and will pursue routine follow up Dermatology exams.

Taehan Philip Kim, MD, PhD 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.
