5.0 star star star star starDr. Ovsiew was very professional and helpful. There had been a miss-communication and the Doctor had not seen some earlier test results...but he worked right through that and did his own testing. Very proficient and most professional

5.0 star star star star starDr.O is fantastic. He is Methodical and thorough in his examination. His care for my mother has been a lifeline for us. He goes the extra mile and makes sure we follow up with my mothers other physicians for a comprehensive treatment. He called the oncology surgery department to make sure they reached out to us. Thank you Dr O.

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.
