5.0 star star star star starDr Hill has taken amazing care of my family and I in all of our respective surgeries. He is accommodating and professional. He takes extra time and is extremely personal-able. It’s hard for me to trust some doctors, but no Dr Hill, he leaves nothing to chance and gives me such confidence so I can relax. I will be so sad if he retires ever

5.0 star star star star starThese days it’s not as common for physicians to spend their time in the examining room listening to the patient, explaining clearly to the patient what is possible and probable, and allowing the patient to Express his or her concerns. Many physicians these days focus on computer entries. Dr. Hill focuses on the patient.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Hill is very caring, kind and considerate and a great professional. He treated me as if I were family. I've known him for years and he always treated me with the utmost respect and even did a couple of knee surgeries on me with great outcomes. He deserves all the praise of being a great doctor.

5.0 star star star star starMy experience with Dr. Hill has been great. His bedside manner shows he truly cares about his patients, I was sick on my last visit, having breathing issues, before my ortho follow up, he inquired about how I was feeling since my last visit. He didn’t have to do that, but he did. That meant a lot to me

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.
