Dr. Stinson takes his time with all his patients. On occasion I have to wait a bit for him to see me but it's well worth it as I know he is taking the same care with someone just like he will with my visit. He is definitely the only doctor I have 100% trust. Even my husband feels the same way. It too k me years to get him to make an app odor a physical and when he met Dr Stinson he goes yearly.

Dr. Stinson is simply the BEST. He is EXTREMELY knowledgeable, never over-medicates, tells you helpful information best suited for you and your personal needs (never one size fits all). He listens, answers questions kindly and thoroughly making sure you understand completely his good sound recommendations. He takes his time with you and when you leave you feel seen and heard. He has never been wrong in his diagnosing in all the years he has been my doctor and when I asked him how he did that he immediately answered that he "reads LOTS." I'm convinced an excellent doctor is a well-read doctor. Thank you Dr. Stinson!

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.
