Really good surgeon, described the surgery in detail, advised of all risks possible, and even made himself available for a telephone visit to answer all questions I had before I made the decision to proceed with surgery. He called my husband and daughter after the surgery to let them know how it went.

Dr. Senall communicates a personable, cool confidence which assured me was in the right place with the right person. He earned my trust by listening first, and then followed up with his thoughts and suggestions. I was comfortable following his lead, believing Dr. Senall had my best interests at heart. Dr. Senall clearly diagnosed my condition and presented a reasonable path to recovery. He has followed though with results that have been "beyond expectations". Dr. Senall is a person who equally enjoys his work and his patients.

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.
