5.0 star star star star starDr. Ganshirt is top notch in his surgical skills , his procedural explanations , his bed side manner and his patient oriented personality. This was the 3rd surgery that he performed on me over 20 years . He made me 100% comfortable and confident both going into and coming out of each surgery.

5.0 star star star star starHe is totally a sweetheart and so very talented and has unlimited surgical abilities. He removed my gallbladder that was a large problem with it. If any other surgeon would have been doing the surgery they would have made a large incision. Dr Ganshirt was able to do it laparoscopically. I was even told by the nurses that no other surgeon has the talent and abilities that Dr Ganshirt has, and that I was very fortunate to have him as my surgeon. He also took care of my son after another surgeon had done a radical butcher job on him. Dr Ganshirt has a very calm and reassuring personality. That is very important to a person facing surgery.

Disclosures
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.
