5.0 star star star star starI am a physician MD myself. My father was a physician as well. My mother was the person who selected the first patient in the world to get an artificial heart. My sister retired as the administrator of Moffat Hospital at the University of California San Francisco. I know a lot of doctors. Dr Yavitz is one of the finest physicians that I have ever observed certainly in the top 5. He is absolutely number one when I was the patient.

5.0 star star star star starWith a complicated medical history, I am most concerned about having a doctor who is a good diagnostician and experienced clinician. Bedside manner isn’t very important to me, but this dr is the whole package. He has all three skills and more.

5.0 star star star star starIt’s always scary seeing a new specialist. Dr. Yavitz spent so much time explaining every single detail with me. You could tell he genuinely cared and wanted me to understand past test results, why he was ordering certain tests, and what follow-ups would look like. He’s a very kind and knowledgeable doctor and would recommend him to anyone I know!

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.
