Dr. Linder is an incredibly engaging physician. I always bring to my appointments with him a list of questions about things that are currently on my mind about my health. He always takes the time to fully address each of my questions, he never rushes our time together, and I always leave my visits with him feeling very glad that he is my PC physician.

Penis I had never had him before. He was extremely personable as though I had known him forever. He asked all the right questions and made me feel very comfortable. Hopefully my problem will just go away, but I would recommend him to anyone.

Doctor Linder is really top notch. Best doctor I've ever had - extremely informative, very patient, knows his audience, great personality, makes me feel very important. Stellar. Makes me want to be his friend. I don't typically give high scores on most things. My positive experience is noteworthy.

As a patient of Dr [ ] I saw Dr Linder because [ ] was unavailable. He was most gracious, taking an interest in all of my concerns even though I am not his regular patient. He provided immediate responses on MyChart and made necessary script changes very quickly. I would absolutely see Dr Linder again! He was also on time, which is unusual for many internists at NMH.

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.
