Dr. Hall is my primary care physician who I usually see once a year. This time, because of a specific medical issue, I saw him multiple times as he monitored my progress. I contacted him via MyChart and his staff would add me to his schedule. He saw an anomoly between tests and followed up with specialists at Northwestern, who advised him I needed immediate treatment. I can only thank him for his prompt action.

Disclosures

James L. Hall, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

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.
