5.0 star star star star starDr Sosman is VERY approachable and patient. I feel like I can consult with him about issues that I’m having which makes me feel like a partner in my own healthcare and not just a patient being cared for by everyone else.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Sosman is a leader in his field, and he spent an hour consulting with my wife and me (patient) in person and two family members (both MDs themselves) via FaceTime. I appreciate his knowledge and care very much. Thank you!

5.0 star star star star starMy medical condition brought Jeff Sosman into my life—-a truly fortunate, situational event for me. He clearly exhibits shared decision making and patient involvement in all treatment options— with an encouraging atmosphere.

5.0 star star star star starHe’s a thoughtful, patient man. Did good, physical exam (rare these days when doctors seem reluctant to touch their patients) listened closely to my description of symptoms and clearly laid out a diagnostic plan. Couldn’t ask for more. Oh, he’s punctual, too. No waiting, which isn’t easy when office full of needy patients.

5.0 star star star star starHe listens. He seems caring. He wants the patient to have the best quality of life as possible and to experience as little pain as possible. He schedules test regularly to note progress. Has nurses and a team that’s very responsive. You can’t ask for much more then that.

5.0 star star star star starHe is extremely competent and knowledgeable in his area of medical practice. He has the ability to relate to his patients exactly what the health issues are and how the treatments will address those issues. And he cares, truly cares about his patients as human beings needing care and compassion!

4.0 star star star star star_borderOnly complaint is both good and bad. Dr S spends the time needed with his patients- which he should, he’s an oncologist and cancer patients’ needs are greater than a normal patient. Therefore he is always late to his appointments - the answer isn’t that he spends less time with us, it’s that appointment times should be longer.

5.0 star star star star starDr Sosman is truly invested in his patients and conveys that professional character trait at all times. While he is, by nature, encouraging, he is also realistic in his recommendations and expectations.

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.
