I feel heard and very well cared for. Dr. Kling and his team explained everything so well and came up with a really good plan and follow up. I really appreciate the genuine care as person and patient. This has been an ongoing issue for over a decade and this is the first time it's under control.

Dr. Kling is a consummate professional. He is very patient and took the time to listen to and address all my concerns and explained everthing with great detail. He is very friendly and seems genuinely concerned for your well-being. I could not have asked for a better experience with a specialized medical professional. I highly recommend him and his team.

He might well be the most patient and thorough I've seen. I'm 77 and have a somewhat complicated medical history, but he is always ready to take plenty of time for all my questions. I've been his patient for more than three years, and even though he may have worked me into his schedule with little advance notice, he never makes me feel like he needs to rush to his next patient. Also, he and his staff are very responsive to MYCHART inquiries. All in all, I'm very confident that I'm getting the very best medical care when I see him.

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.
