Sean was knowledgeable, thorough and really took the time to listen and talk me through my symptoms. I typically choose the Wheaton urgent care over glen ellyn bc I live in Wheaton, but they did not have any appt. available that day. I would highly consider going out of my way to use Glen Ellyn urgent care again. Excellent service and care from the time I walked in the door until the time I left.

Disclosures

Sean M. Gallagher, PA-C 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.
