Dr. Orelind is a perfect primary care doctor. He is highly competent, but equally as important he is an excellent communicator. He listens, asks meaningful questions and provides sound alternatives and excellent advice. He is among the most ethical, caring and compassionate people I have ever met. He is a role model for how doctors should treat patients. He has been my doctor for over a decade and I could not be happier or more grateful to him for his reasonable, well thought out and friendly care.

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.
