Dr. Garb was great. Made me feel extremely comfortable and I felt I could discuss anything with him. He came in to meet me & get to know me since this was my first visit with him. I have been a patient of the Gynecology Department of Passavant/ NWM since I was 19 years old spending many years with Dr. Mel & Dr. Al Gerbie until their retirement. It's been a little trial & error due to another Dr. that left a practice I was in. However, I am confident this will be a good fit.

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.
