Dr Malina is an amazing doctor. He not only knows his profession, but from the moment he greeted us in the waiting room till the time we left, we could feel his care and concern. We never felt rushed or that any question was not welcomed. The best experience we've had with any doctor for many many years.

I am a person who rarely, and I mean, rarely sees any kind of doctors. unfortunately, I had a situation where I needed to see Aaron C Malina. And I can tell you as nervous as I was and uncomfortable they really made me feel like they could help me. They are very knowledgeable and can definitely explain things to where I could understand and I thank them for that and that is my reason for giving them a 10 although there is plenty of more reasons.

Disclosures

Aaron C. Malina, PhD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

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.
