Was very caring, kind, and wanted to help. Listened and provided good explanation of lab results. Prescribed needed antibotic. Asked if I had any other questions before he left. Longer term lab culture results supported his conclusion - and choice of antibotic. Well done!

He truly cares about his patients. James even told me what benefits my insurance offers that I may not be aware of. Most physicians have no clue about some of the prescriptions being covered or anything about insurances. He went the extra mile to look that up. He made sure my son was comfortable coming there with the flu & just feeling terrible all around. I can't get that kind of compassion at the location closest to me. A test was done & a quick solution was found.

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.
