5.0 star star star star starHe was very personable, knowledgeable, and made sure that I understood everything he was saying. He made sure if I had any questions, and even when he came back, and I did have further questions, he made sure to answer him. I was very comfortable with him and I am grateful that he will be taking care of me.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Brayton is always very personal, not seemingly in a hurry, and takes time to help me and explain things. I’m always nervous before any doc appointment, and I always leave feeling hopeful. That is not usually my experience.

Disclosures
John Brayton, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.
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.
