Dr Christopher George never rushes, always listens and explains with clarity on all the topics we have discussed. Dr. [ ] referred me to him when I was first diagnosed with cancer. After calling his office, I was told he wasnâ€™t taking new patients. I was scared, confused and just wanted the care my surgeon recommended to me. Needless to say his assistant asked him because I think at this point I was pleading. He made the exception to see me . That takes great compassion to make an exception with an already full schedule. He shows he is a human being before showing you he is a knowledgeable Dr. That in itself speaks volumes. God Bless his knowledge and kindnessâ€¦

Disclosures

Christopher M. George, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

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. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
