Dr Thomas explained my questions that I asked in an easy to understand manner. He went over my test results and took the time to explain my condition without rushing to move on to his next patient

Dr. Thomas is thorough and takes time to answer questions. His staff is professional and explains everything to me. I am a retired registered nurse and while I know there are other patients with more serious conditions, I always feel that Dr. Thomas takes the time I need to have all my questions answered. I had a mitral valve repair in 2008 and now have some increase in Mitral regurgitation, Dr. Thomas is monitoring me with yearly cardiac echo and explains all the results thoroughly, he is understanding of the fact that I do not want to rush into heart surgery. I feel very confident in his 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.
