Dr. Havelka was wonderful during surgery .

However, I felt like I am back where I started. I have been trying to get help for almost a year. The Dr told me not worry about my toes turning purple. Purple toes isn’t normal, therefore I am worried. Disappointed because he really didn’t care about my concerns nor do he offer any guidance as to who could help me. So I will have to keep looking for a Dr who can help me. Waisted time and money. I live almost an hour away and not happy that I left the same way I got there.

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. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
