Great care, he was very kind considerate and understanding of my issue. He is truly taking the time to figure out the best care plan for me and if surgery is truly necessary. He also has talked with my other doctors I've been working with on this issue and that is much appreciated. He really wanted to get the full scope of what's going on with me and is still going to collaborate with others to see what else to do other than this invasive surgery. Very calm cool and collected, he took the time to answer all of my questions and is going to follow up with me in the near future with the best course of action. Good experience, great doctor.

Disclosures

George E. Havelka, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

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.
