5.0

Unlike other doctor who offer no reason why I might be having these symptoms Dr. Shetty actually reviewed my meds and knew that one of them caused side effects that mimic Parkinson’s. I thought I definitely had PD and now it’s entirely possible that a medicine prescribe for nausea has wreaked havoc with my body. He is the ONLY person to raise this issue. This is huge!

In every way, Dr. Shetty is a truly great physician. He listens very carefully to all our concerns and asks insightful questions to make sure he understands the full extent of the problems.

Neil Kanta Shetty, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

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. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
