Comprehensive coverage of health issues related to cardiology and overall general health. Dr. Vandorpe is an excellent communicator---able to explain complex procedures in ways that are understandable to the general listener/patient. Moreover he is very, very generous in spending time with the patient in the scheduled appointment. I always feel comfortable and at ease with his positive approach to discussions of a very serious nature and his clear discussions of options available. In conclusion, he is a most accomplished listener who allows the patient to express their inner most fears and anxieties.

Disclosures

Ross M. VanDorpe, 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.
