If I could give Dr. Abraham a score above 10 I would—he is fantastic! Took his time reviewing and explaining my MRI, he really listened to my concerns and has been the first doctor that has really addressed my constant pain and other symptoms. This is the first time I’ve had hope that someone was going to be able to help me. He also said he would check out an issue from the CT scan that wasn’t addressed on the MRI report and was going to reach out to Dr Chang’s office to see if my appt could be moved up from the end of June since the pain is so bad. Dr. Abraham is the BEST!!! He is also kind, patient, understanding and genuine! Please pass along my appreciation and gratitude!

Disclosures

Jeevan Chechakunnil Abraham, 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.
