5.0 star star star star starHe seem very knowledgeable and able to explain what he was doing and what was wrong with my tendon in ways I could understand. And once he understood what I do for a living and what I do for exercise, his confusion over how the injury occurred was cleared.

5.0 star star star star starI was extremely impressed with Dr. Yamaguchi’s experience, knowledge, skill recommendations, and counsel. He was entirely responsive to my questions and wasted no time in arranging for e rays, an MRI and related appointments. The quality and efficiency of his attention and assistance was unrivaled in my experience.
Disclosures
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.
