Dr. Sufit, my neurologist is wonderful! He really listens to my concerns and has recently helped me through a flare-up of MG. I am so grateful that he is my doctor. Maneuvering through this rare and sometimes difficult disease has, to say the least, been challenging! Dr. Sufit has always eased my anxiety and fears. God Bless Dr. Robert L Sufit.

Dr. Sufit is awesome! I’ve been seeing him since I first switched to Northwestern from Children’s Memorial (now Lurie) and he has been so kind and caring, he always wants to talk with me when I come in, to catch up on how I’ve been doing since the last time I saw him before that and he always makes me smile and laugh even if I’m not feeling well. He’s a great doctor and I hope he stays my doctor for a long time still

Disclosures

Robert L. Sufit, 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.
