5.0 star star star star starDr. Pollack is very thoroughly and caring, giving thoughtful answers to questions and explaining things fully. When problems arose connecting for this telehealth visit and I finally found a way to send a message, thinking any reply would be days in coming, he called immediately to carry out the visit by phone.

5.0 star star star star starThe expertise of Dr. Pollack is quite apparent. He knows my case thoroughly and is most professional. He has a way of connecting with the patient to help her feel comfortable prior to beginning the medical part of the discussion. Practicing the science of medicine is different than understanding the “art “ of medicine and that patient - doctor relationship. He is that rare doctor who can do both. His patients benefit greatly.

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.
