It was my first time meeting Dr. Gerber, and I've never had a primary care physician who was so thorough, attentive, and unhurried during an appointment - which feels rare in healthcare today. He took the time to truly listen and address my concerns, and it's clear that he cares about his patient's well-being. I look forward to continuing my care with Dr. Gerber moving forward.

Dr. Gerber was excellent . His bedside manner was very comforting. I like the way that he made everything a discussion in terms of what next steps would be rather than just telling me what to do. He was very good at explaining why he recommended things and making sure that I was comfortable with his recommendations. I'm excited to have him as my new primary care physician.

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.
