5.0 star star star star starDoctor Englehart is a great doctor I've had him for over 20 years. He's very caring and compassionate. Super nice guy, smart, intelligent and willing to go extra mile for his patients. I have other providers and clinics closer to my house, but I drive the distance for an appointment with him because there's no one like him. He's the best one you got in Sandwich by far.

5.0 star star star star starI feel I have found a physician that totally understands me as I'm aging and the decisions that I choose he looks ahead at what might be needed and suggest it or tells me how he feels about the procedure or the test. He's a great guy very personable.

5.0 star star star star starHe makes you feel like he really cares. He takes the time to ask how I am doing. He doesn't rush through to get me out of there. I didn't have to wait long at all. My appointment was at 9 am in Sandwich, and I was home in Sheridan by 10 am.
Disclosures
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.
