The specific cardiologist I would never recommend to anyone, he was pushing symptoms I didnâ€™t have on me and was eager to ask if I had anxiety or an eating disorder as an explanation. He was content to blame my symptoms on medications that I have never had any issues with and were prescribed years after symptom onset. Dr. Chicos was unprofessional and dismissive of the symptoms I described all because he didnâ€™t want to believe I have a certain condition that is very commonly co morbid with a rare genetic disease I have. In fact he suspected a condition with polar opposite effects on heart rate simply because it is more common. Not only that but he dismissed the fact that numerous other doctors I have seen who have told me I have this specific condition, and he also stated in the appointment that he doesnâ€™t deal with autonomic dysfunction yet he somehow still had the audacity to dismiss a possible diagnosis that he doesnâ€™t specialize in while pushing other symptoms down a patients throat. I have experienced this type of care time and time again due to being a young woman navigating specialist after specialist and I will certainly not be following up with this provider again, ever.

Disclosures

Alexandru B. Chicos, 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.
