Dr. Shapiro made every effort to reassure me that my health and any concerns I had were valid and important. He stated that it is never a problem for him to listen to concerns his patients may have. He also availed himself to me by stating that I can either contact him via MyChart or by calling the clinic and asking for his nurse to address any concerns that I may have. I appreciate his effort to provide me with the best care possible. He apologized for my previous experience I had regarding scheduling a visit within the clinic even though it was nothing he or his staff had done.

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.
