Brian is extremely knowledgeable, professional and genuinely interested in my care. His program of exercises have nearly eliminated my hip/groin pain and increased my confidence. I believe that if I continue the exercises that I'll be pain free shortly.

Brian took the time to listen carefully and encouraged me to say my goal out loud so he can help me work toward it: running again, instead of giving up. And he said if he finds a physical reason why it wouldn't be a good idea to reume running, he will tell me. Also, I've been therapy a number of times in the last few years, and the exercises were starting to feel like they were working the same muscles the same way. Brian gave me some really different ones, which engage my interest as well as working my muscles differently.

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.
