5.0 star star star star starHe is a doctor that goes out of his way to make sure you are okay and treats you like family. Dr. Schuele is an individual that explains what is being presented to his patients to make sure they understand the information and to make sure that they are truly okay all around. He is honestly a doctor that I would not be around without.

5.0 star star star star starI was impressed with his bedside manner. He listened. And he also was open to my own insights and thoughts. He wasn’t quick to jump to a diagnosis and is examining my test results and medical records from previous care outside of Northwestern. I feel a sense of confidence and this brings a sense of peace and diminished anxiety. Thank you.

5.0 star star star star starLove him! I had originally started with a different neurologist elsewhere who misdiagnosed and then was fortunate to become a patient of Dr Schuele going forward from then and he correctly diagnosed me... things have been great all these years and I am so grateful for him as my neurologist and hold him the highest regard with my trust for my health with my epilepsy.

3.0 star star star star_border star_borderFelt he could have spent more time with me. Left most of the exam to the medical student. Appointment for 3:30 got out 5:15 and yet only saw doctor about 10 to 15 minutes. Had a half hour wait for first appointment.

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.

Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
