Dr. Brent has a great balance between caring and being positive - and not sugar coating a challenging and often times complicated and difficult diagnosis like ALS. *Very Grateful to have him and his A-Team a big part of my ongoing medical care. The fact that he is leading research to find a cure is also very important to me!

When you have ALS it is important to find a Dr who is passionate about finding a cure - in addition to being a sharp MD / PHD who treats the illness and symptoms. *I feel that Dr Brent (and the team at Northwestern) are just that.

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. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
