5.0 star star star star starDr. Lesniak was approachable and got straight to the point in addressing my concerns and explaining what comes next. I greatly appreciated having the NP present as well, having a name and face (and card) for someone to call with questions. Encounters with the healthcare system sometimes feel dehumanizing, but my brief visit with Dr. Lesniak was caring and reassuring.

3.0 star star star star_border star_borderSeems to be knowledgeable but he had a difficult time understanding my questions. Perhaps it was me not asking succinctly. Also his mannerisms made me feel like he wanted to wrap up the appointment even though I know that was not his intention.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Lesniak is an excellent physician, He used his experience to recommend a treatment for me and listened to my personal concerns. He organized my visit with other doctors during my visit so I would not have to make several trips to Chicago. I highly recommend Dr. Lesniak,

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.
