5.0 star star star star starI live in Glenview Illinois and I drive to downtown Chicago to see Dr. Ackerman for my care and the care of my family. I was very fortunate to have found Dr. Ackerman and for him to accepted the role as my primary care physician. I would highly recommend him to everybody. He’s an excellent teacher and human being. Thank you for the opportunity to share my thoughts about my care at Northwestern Memorial Hospital

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.
