I have an extensive history with NWLF going back over eight years ago when I was dealing with Throat Cancer. Long story short, because of my recent Lung Cancer screening results, I was put into the care of Dr. Vercillo. From my first consultation thru surgery, and today with follow up, Dr. Vercillo was unbelievable. I never felt rushed during my consultation, and he answered all of my questions in a soothing but honest way. When he removed my chest tube a few drops of fluid soiled the floor in my room. He promptly grabbed a tissue and cleaned it up himself. To me he is a humble man. There is no question I will recommend Dr. Vercillo to anyone that finds themselves in the situation I was in.

Dr. Vercillo is one of the most caring doctors I have ever seen. Having cancer is scary but Dr. Vercillo does everything he can to put me at ease. He never leaves the room without asking if he has answered all my questions.

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.
