1.0 star star_border star_border star_border star_borderMy appointment was two hours late and there was no explanation or apology. Dr Thomas was rude, disengaged, ignored my questions and concerns. He failed to even examine me but charted a "physical exam" in his note. After I attempted to ask questions about the results from NWM vs my local provider he basically stated that he did not review them. I am also filing a patient complaint with more detail.

5.0 star star star star starDr Thomas is thorough, goes over all my test results, discusses different options for approaches to my care. Always answers my questions, I never feel rushed. If I message his office, they always get back to me in a timely manner. Excellent patient care.

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.
