5.0 star star star star starI went to Dr. Leitzen for a second opinion and he gave me a different diagnosis than the doctor I saw previously; this is because Dr. Leitzen actually took the time to review my chart and CT/MRI images prior to my first appointment. You’d think all doctors would do that, but the ENT I saw before Leitzen clearly did not, he was stumbling through the images during my visit and didn’t seem sure what he was looking at. Dr. Leitzen spoke with absolute confidence, reviewed the images with me and explained everything to me in Layman’s terms. I then felt confident in his diagnosis and my nerves were at ease knowing I would be in good hands. I had a major surgery done by Dr. Leitzen that I don’t know I would’ve done had I seen any other doctor, I don’t know that I would’ve had that same level of confidence anywhere else and I’m beyond grateful to have the privilege of being his patient. I highly recommend Dr. Leitzen.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Leitzen and his staff took the time to explain each part of my visit, including the nasal scope. They prepped me with a lidocaine solution to make my visit more comfortable and listened attentively to my symptoms.

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.
