Dr James Sanders is fantastic. He has been my GP for probably 15-20 years now, and I can always count on him for help, advice and support. He truly listens to me, and works with me to help figure out the best way to treat issues I’ve had my whole life. After seeing more doctors than I can count as a child up through my 20’s, Dr Sanders is the only person that’s ever really helped me to solve problems that once plagued my life. I owe him much more than just these kind words. The staff is fantastic too! Extremely pleasant and friendly. They make you feel extremely well cared for. The entire experience is always a 10/10.

I’ve already recommended him to at least three people, including one nephew and on church board member. They all like him. The reasons I recommend him are those stated above, plus I believe that he knows medications better than the average doctor. He’s recommended medications to me that were more effective and had less side effects than other doctors: [ ], for example.

James Joseph Sanders, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2023.

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.
