The doctor was very thorough and patient, and he spent plenty of time with me in a relaxed fashion. I found his care very thorough and excellent. I was very grateful to be able to see him today. He put my mind to rest with some concerns that were rectified by blood and urine test, and his very skilled knowledge of what I was dealing with

He took time to answer all my questions and provide me all different ways I can manage my symptoms. He also called me later on Sunday evening to talk to me about my test result. I was not expecting a call but a note via my chart. I was very impressed his care and making the call to ensure I understand what I need to do based on test results.

He asked good questions and listened to my concerns. He didn't d a thorough exam and fully explained the diagnosis, the medications I would need to take and how soon I could expect to feel better. He also noted that if I developed other specific symptoms I should go to the ER but said such developments were not common.

Disclosures

James A. McCombs, DO reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

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.
