5.0 star star star star starDr. Bethke is an exceptional doctor. I especially appreciate his ability to listen to his patients’ concerns. Also, the patient binder and Bethke manual prepared by Dr. Bethke and his team is very informative and well put together.

5.0 star star star star starDr Bethke make me feel confident that I had come to the see the right person for me. I felt comfortable with his assessment. He was gentle and thorough. He has kind, wise eyes. That being said, I hope I never have to see him again in a hospital setting, but should a future need arise, I would not hesitate to have him take care of me.

5.0 star star star star starAt my first visit I liked that Dr. Bethke gave me a booklet that contained all the information that I needed during a very scary & stressful time. He & his staff were very knowledgeable and professional. They took the time to make sure I understood my options. Dr. Bethke made me feel confident with having surgery at NM. My surgery went very well and scars are barely noticeable.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Bethke is an excellent surgeon. During my initial consultation he was very thorough. He also told me to view my treatment as about a "year project" and I was the coordinator. This really helped me through my journey.

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.
