Changes in medications & using genetic info to help finding alternate ideas, along with his great research skills & working Dr. Choi & Dr. Zhou who do research & oversee research projects with Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation. He is kind & concerned about me & my total health.If I have a new problem- Dr. Guitart will see me on Tuesday & an appt will be scheduled even if no appts were available. He also changes appts to accommodate me if I am going to see the radiation oncologist so specific suggestions for what to radiate are included. Then the radiation visit will be a meeting plus a planning session.

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.
