My experience with Dr. Later has been beyond better than any other experience I've had with a neurologist (I've seen a few) or any doctor. He is always patient, thorough, actually listens, explanatory and considers all options and what is best. My experience is that he tries to work with the patient to accomplish what is best. He is not hurried at appointments. Dr. Later provides care the way it should be especially for neurology.

Disclosures

Paul E. Later, 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.
