5.0 star star star star starI'm so happy that I'm in Dr. Sidle's care; I had melanoma on my face and he has done an amazing job in making a golf ball size hole in my face into a scar that is hardly visible. He's been very meticulous in my follow-up visits and I know the exact plan of care we have moving forward. I'd highly recommend him to anyone.

5.0 star star star star starWonderful surgeon who is extremely personable, and makes people immediately comfortable. He explains everything , answers questions fully , and is honest about what he is able to achieve (or not) for patient. This was as non stressful of a surgical experience as I could have hoped for. His physician assistant, Erin Hoke, was very knowledgeable and responsive.

5.0 star star star star starFelt immediately comfortable with Dr, Sidle and he had come highly recommended . He was thorough, and explained all of the issues in an understandable manner . I did not feel that he was “selling” or promising perfection, but rather was realistic about my surgery and what could be achieved . He listened to my concerns and addressed them in an honest and reassuring manner. He has a casual, non-arrogant demeanor and a good sense of humor which immediately puts one at ease.

He understood both the physical and emotional aspects of undergoing surgery and made himself available even after hours.

Both extremely impressive.

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.
