He was extremely knowledgeable, caring, and attentive. He gave me a cold compress for my head and a whole list of things I can do to improve my symptoms (this is so helpful, considering I'm pregnant and can't do much in terms of medication). I truly wish I could have him every time I visit urgent care! Thank you!!!

He was great. I tried explaining my symptoms while not feeling well. He listened to everything I said and came up with solutions to try.

Jim came off as non-threatening, non-judgmental and overall very caring, especially meeting for the first time. He offered several options for relief and took the time to answer all my questions. I think what stands out the most was, I felt like Jim and I were on the same Team Kirk, wanting to get me better but following the proper channels, having the radiologist read my scans and determine whether or not I need antibiotics. Jim earned my trust immediately.

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.
