This review covers all of my appts. since I do not have any additional appts. scheduled. Ryan is phenomenal Physical Therapist. I could not be happier with the 1-1 dedicated approach to all of the various exercises and stretching/deep tissue work that helped solve my shoulder problem and significantly reduce the need for surgery. I am sure Northwestern has other good PT's, but Northwestern is lucky to have Ryan.

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.
