Because he knows what he's doing!! He's very kind and smart and very patient. I have MS and had surgery on my left arm for my tendons to be repaired and he has incredible knowledge for both things. Great personality also! Oh, he also knows a lot about vestibular problems and how to treat them, which is great because I'm so off-balance! Thank you, Nick!

He's polite, kind and respectful. He's knowledgeable about pt and the issues I have like hyper mobility and includes my feedback in our workouts daily and weekly. He brings me print outs bc we haven't had any printer ink. He explains things clearly & gets along with my pet cat. Patient and calm. I would recommend to my partner if he ever needs it and will return to his care if I need home pt again.

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.
