He is an outstanding physician. He is confident but not in a vain or offputting way. His confidence assures you that you are in good hands. He explains everything he is going to do. He answers every question you have. He may have lots of patients that day but when he is with you you are the only one he is thinking about. I had never had a cardiac ablation before and I was terrified. He did a great job of putting me at ease. I arrived at 11 and was in the car home by 7. His will be the first name I give anyone who asks for an EP cardiologist. I am grateful that he was my physician.

Disclosures

Tonye Teme, 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. 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.
