Dr. Arbetter is a professional physician with ample experience. In my opinion, something that I value very highly about him is that once he enters his office and starts engaging with me, he remains extremely focused. There is no hint of rush, just focused on what I am describing and him thinking about what to do next. I believe that he is excellent at listening and getting clues from patients like me. That in itself is a rare quality in doctors these days. That's why I can recommend Dr. Arbetter to anyone looking for care.

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.
