He actually listened to my history and condition and didn't make me feel like my symptoms were not valid or like I was wasting his time. He was professional and collaborated with me on a plan. I felt very safe and not judged which should be standard with medical care but now is rare. He was very detailed in explaining his reasoning, post assessment his findings and goals for our next appointment. Overall, probably one of the best doctor experiences I have ever had.

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.

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.
