I like dr Lee, very straight to the point and doesnâ€™t beat around. Wish most docs would slow down a little but I get theyâ€™re all on tight schedules daily and have to move on to the next one fast.

Dr. Lee asked many questions of me and attempt ascertain why I was having problems. We discussed options, telling me some tests we could run, but he didnâ€™t believe it was going to help to ascertain the problem. I agreed with him that in this case, we can wait it out another month or two months and see if things got better because Iâ€™ve had this kind of condition over three years ago.

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.

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.
