Dr. Yang is a very compassionate Dr. He has helped me through the numerous injections and procedures and helps reduce the anxiety and stress associated. He has distraction conversations during the procedures. For my most current appointment, I had scheduled with him to discuss options for my future and better understand my condition. I drove almost 2 hours for the appointment and he seemed very busy that day. I still have more questions for another time

I have some complex health issues that I deal with and I'm always anxious about seeing new Dr.'s. I was very nervous about seeing a pain Dr because I didn't know what to expect and was incredibly surprised I had written an entire page of notes in my phone because I didn't want to forget any of my symptoms to give him as much information as possible to help figure out exactly what is wrong with me and I told Dr. Yang only my initial main symptom and then he told me exactly what was wrong with me and told me all of the other symptoms that I was having that I didn't even have to tell him about because he knew exactly what was wrong with me. That was so refreshing. He gave me a detailed explanation of exactly how my spine works. What disc degeneration does to your spine and why I was having the symptoms that I was having. We came up with a plan that I'm comfortable with and I am so grateful. He knows his stuff!

Edward B. Yang, 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.
