5.0 star star star star starMy previous experience with orthopedic surgeons is that I get a bit of a brush off since I'm a slightly overweight middle-aged woman with a boring painful knee instead of an athlete or interesting case. But Dr. Southgate was respectful and took lots of time to answer my questions. Great experience.

5.0 star star star star starDr Southgate is great. He listened and took time to explain things and answered all questions. He made sure to discuss medical options so I felt informed. He ensured I understood everything. Overall, very professional and caring doctor! So many doctors today don’t take time to listen or explain things; he does!
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.
