He's been very respectful, efficient, and graceful with balancing my financial concerns and my health concerns. He has not misgendered me in my presence, and I would suspect he corrects his peers who might mistakenly do so. When he heard I had already struggled with the ongoing health issue for a year, he made sure to clear space in his busy schedule to get it taken care of immediately. I would be very comfortable recommending my friends and family to him and his team in the future.

The doctor is clearly very knowledgeable and an excellent physician. Some constructive feedback I would offer is that he could do a better job of listening to his patients. He often interrupts and talks over the patient as something is being explained. Or, thinks he knows what you are going to say and cuts you off, when that was not what you were going to say at all. This may not be his fault, though. It could be that Northwestern health system is not allowing this physician enough time to do his visits with patients properly and that he feels rushed, or behind, or under a lot of pressure to get through the string of patients as fast as he can to be more 'productive.' Giving this doctor more time to interact with a patient could allow him to slow down, take a breath, and actually listen to a patient and what they are saying. This would then allow him to deliver better medicine, improve patient experience, and also would likely reduce any potential mistakes made by not spending enough time to get to know what's truly going on with the patient. So, yes, I would suggest slowing down and stop interrupting and talking over patients, but then I would also say to the larger managerial decision maker in charge that this doctor (and perhaps others like him) need more time so they do not feel so under the gun to get the patient out the door. Denying that time is likely penny-wise but pound-foolish, as the saying goes. A more accurate diagnosis and a better patient experience will pay off in the long run and save on costs.

Disclosures

Landon J. Duyka, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

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.
