He is very kind, warm, very likable and has a wonderful bedside manner. He always takes his time to ask and explain everything in detail. I confident that I am in the best hands. Also I am very thankful for knowing that my doctors (Dr. [name], Dr. [other name] and Dr. Adney) are communicating about my health/symptoms.

He was very attentive, expressed genuine concern for my wellbeing. Though this was a follow-up recommended by my Cardiologist, he was well versed about circumstances even after not seeing him for a year and a half. Great recommendations and follow-up-next steps. Professional, knowledgable , personable, great support from Dr. [last name] who is completing her residency.

Disclosures

Scott Kellam Adney, MD, PhD 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.
