Dr. Attar thoroughly explained a potential surgery so we knew what to expect if it were performed. He was very concerned about our questions and worries. He went aboveboard to squeeze us into his busy schedule. We appreciate everything he has done to help us on this journey.

He explains things well. He goes over very detailed, but doesn't overwhelm. He has a gift for treating people and really making sure they feel like he knows and cares about them.

Was very clear/articulate with his assessment of my situation, provided really good context and rationale regarding his hypothesis and approach, next steps, and took the time to listen to my list of questions. Definitely had a good experience given this was an unexpected (and a bit scary) of a situation to have encountered out of the blue for me.

Dr. Attar was amazing today, it was my first time meeting him. He was kind and compassionate. He wanted to find a solution to the problems, which I appreciate and took his time to really explain everything! Not every physician does this! They just assume we know what they know! He was very personable and down to earth.

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.
