I would urge anyone needing surgery to see him. He is kind and caring, explains and answers questions, and encourages throughout the process.

My physical functioning has been renewed making all of life so much better for me. He is the BEST!!

4.0 star star star star star_borderI was happy the doctor had an idea of what was wrong, but I would’ve appreciated him taking a little more time to explain everything. He walked in 45 minutes late (unapologetically) and spent less than 5 minutes with me. It’s clear he knows his stuff, but again, I would’ve appreciated a little more thoroughness.

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.
