He listened to all my questions, and answered me in an understandable way. He was very thorough with his examination of my left hip in comparison to the right one which was replaced 18 years ago. I mentioned I was attending physical therapy for this issue, and the therapist recommended an injection. He agreed it would probably help with the pain, then set me up with an appointment for it.

I am a retired former physician who worked at Palos Hospital. I give Cody an A+. I just came for knee injections that could be done in 10 minutes. He spent considerable more time than that explaining to me the natural history of my problem and pulled up my X-rays as well as various others to illustrate my problems. A very cogent professional explanation and easily understood.I liked that he did not assume that as a physician I would automatically be aware of all the nuances. I plan on making my next appointment to the dept with him.

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.
