First, Dr. Zielinski keeps me healthy and feeling good. He's always been able to fix something that goes wrong with my health or else knows who to send me to and that doctor inevitably solves the problem. Second, his availability is great. If I leave a message on the portal that I'm having a problem even remotely serious, he seems to be able to see me within 24 hours - often within four hours. Third, he's so easy to talk to, even about things that are embarrassing. And he explains everything. I learn so much from any visit to his office.

Disclosures

Michael D. Zielinski, 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.
