Dr. Steinwald was very knowledgable and professional, and did a great job with my surgery. He talked me through the procedure and recovery, was very kind and patient, and was honest and realistic about my prognosis. He also explained things in terms I could understand.

I was impressed that he took so much time with me. During my treatment he told me what he was doing and asked for permission before going in with treatment. He also told me something he had seen on an 2 year old cat scan. This indicated he had read my records. He was kind and personable

I had a great experience during my visit with my ENT doctor, Dr Steinwald and office staff. He was incredibly thorough, patient, and attentive_taking the time to listen to my concerns, explain everything clearly, and answer all of my questions without rushing. He also prioritized my comfort during my office procedure. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an ENT.

I have complete confidence in Dr. Steinwald. He has never steered me wrong and, following his advice - especially with after care, my healing process has been very good. As far as planning for my next procedure the doctor always takes into account the recommendations, precautions and schedules of other departments (cardiology and electrophysiology) and how they will impact my situation. I always get the straight scoop on my condition. I always get a full picture of what my options are. I could not ask for a better doc.

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.
