5.0 star star star star starThoughtful, responsive, excellent care. Knows how to communicate and not overly complicate what I am dealing with. Because I understand him I feel very confident about my care and what I need to do. He is an absolutely wonderful and cheerful doctor.

5.0 star star star star starHe is a patient's physician and not someone who is going through the motions. He is not dismissive, he listens and reacts in a reassuring manner to your concerns. In addition, promotes participation, such as self-advocacy to achieve good health outcomes. These are the type of attributes that garner trust and comfort that he has your best interest at heart. This minimized the emotional aspects of healing and allows you to focus on the physical goals of achieving good health.
Disclosures

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.
