5.0 star star star star starDr. Landers was very easy to talk to. He listened closely when I had concerns instead of trying to multitask. He was very nice and helpful. The other staff members were also very nice and friendly.

5.0 star star star star starI was ready to leave NWM for another dermatology group elsewhere until I saw a this new doctor here, Dr Landers. I thought Dr. Landers was an excellent and informative doctor with a very pleasant and professional way about him. It's hard to find good doctors these days - doctors who take time to explain things such as he does.

5.0 star star star star starAs a first time patient, he was willing to do the procedure right then and there, instead of me coming back for another office visit. He gave me several choices of treatment. And let me choose so I decided to let him do the procedure and was very happy with him.Making sure that the Area was numb before doing the procedure.

My last dermatologist (no name) said we will look at that another time. I was very pleased with dermatologist Dr. John Landers. I will diffently recommend him..
Disclosures
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.
