Dr Senall takes his time to explain all the options and makes sure I understand what the risks and benefits are with each option. He also reviews any imaging with me to show me where the problem is, which makes me feel more involved in my care. I also appreciate that he doesn't automatically jump to surgery, but wants to make sure we exhaust all other options first.

Dr Senall was and is a consummate professional. His diagnosis (he was the second opinion I sought) seemed more logical and offered what seems to be a superior option for complete recovery! While some may think of him as "matter of fact" or some say "off putting" I experienced NONE of that! He is a WISE and EXCEPTIONAL physician and I'm VERY confident in his surgical prowess! (That will be fully determined upon ultimate healing.) Let me sum up my feelings a outDr Senall - his diagnosis was researched thoroughly and presented confidently - HOWEVER - even more so he and his ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE staff, very compassionately addressed and accommodated each of the fears and concerns I had!

Jeffrey A. Senall, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

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.
