Dr. Henschen is the best "primary " doctor I've had since Dr. Jonn Glenn (before he retired). Henschen is very knowledgeable and personable. He knows his patients and acknowledges us when he sees us outside of scheduled appts. He genuinely cares and it show each time I run into him. Dr. Henschen and his staff keeps me informed of anything regarding my healthcare via direct phone call, MyChart message, or text. These are the things I look for and expect from ALL my doctors and Healthcare Team.

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.
