Dr. Wank and his staff turned what I expected to be just another cortisone shot visit for my hip into a smooth, supportive, informative, and impressive experience. From check-in to procedure, the team showed professionalism, genuine care, and the kind of efficiency that makes you wonder why every doctor's office can't operate this way. The injection itself was nearly painless, but the real difference was the staff's consistent encouragement for progress and attention to the details of my issue. They deserve serious praise because I feel this is the gold standard for patient care.

Disclosures

Micheal D. Wank, PA-C reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2025.

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.
