The experience that we had to go through with my Mom's sudden Health situation and the treatment while she was at the hospital for over 6 weeks while she was in Dr. Reish care was unbelievable. She was in the Best hands. Dr. Reish was right with her diagnoses from the very beginning, The test results from Mayo clinic confirmed his original explaining to us what had happened to my Mom and what caused it and what we should do next in order to treat it and Prevent from happening again. Dr. Reish is a Professional Dr. and I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Reish did a very thorough job in questioning me about my neurological problems. He than researched my surgery which occurred at a non-Northwestern hospital and even read the surgical and anesthetic records. He ordered a MRI on both the brain and spine. The brain MRI was good but the MRI of the lumbar spine showed a large suspected spinal fluid mass next to my lumbar fusion surgery. It is a relief to me to have him concretely define my problem. Now I go back to the original non-Northwestern surgeon and see what he can do to fix the problem. If he is unwilling, Dr. Reish indicated he could refer me to a Northwestern neurosurgeon. I am impressed with his thoroughness, knowledge, and professionalism.

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.
