To be honest. Before going to Dr Bednard. We have had a closed fatal called. Due to a medical doctor that was supposed to have been attentive and professional with my husband who had a history of heart failure.his actions and negligence caused my husband to almost loose his life.but God did a miracle in saving him.we decided to choose Dr Bednard.and he won our heart's with his soft spoken bedside manners. His caring attentiveness.when we met him, it seem like we knew him from before. He just makes you feel that way.he's the only doctor that has been able to keep my husband's vital signs to almost perfect since his stroke. He's Professional,Knowledgeable and kind.When he informed Us he had to leave. We didn't even ask him who would take his place. Because to Us he's irreplaceable We are going to miss him tremendously.and wish him the best.God Bless Him. Sincerely.[Patient's Name]

The best doctor ever. He listen to his patients rather than trying details in the computer . That was my reason leaving my previous doctor and started seeing Dr Bednard because he took good care of my husband. All of his patients like him and they are following him for over 25 years. Every doctor should be like him, close to his patient and having eye contact.

I can't say enough about the incredible experience I had with Dr. Mark Bednard. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt at ease_his warm, professional demeanor immediately put me in a place of trust. Dr. Bednard takes the time to listen carefully, never rushing through any part of the consultation. His thorough approach to explaining options, treatments, and potential outcomes shows a true commitment to patient care. Beyond his medical expertise, Dr. Bednard genuinely cares about his patients' well-being. I felt comfortable asking any questions, and he always provided clear, thoughtful answers. It's rare to find a doctor who combines skill, empathy, and a patient-first mindset like he does. I highly recommend Dr. Bednard for anyone in need of compassionate, top-tier medical care. His dedication to his patients truly sets him apart.

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.

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.
