Christopher P. Hogrefe MD and his student were both incredibly personable. They communicated well. I did not feel rushed. They also did not dismiss my pain, even though it is intermittent. They helped me identify the problem, which already eases my mind. I didn't know if it was a "fixable" thing, and now I know a path towards fixing it.

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.
