5.0 star star star star starI felt like she listened to me. She had already taken the time to review my history from previous doctors and she didn't want to put me through unnecessary testing. She really seemed to care about my health. Overall, my experience was great!

5.0 star star star star starDr. Retzer goes the extra mile to give comprehensive care (sometimes even before the first appointment). She is thorough and explains your condition, what needs to be accomplished, and your plan of care going forward. You leave with a clear understanding of the next steps in your treatment and the goals of treatment going forward. My husband and I feel that our cardiac issues are in capable hands.

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.
