I am writing to express my deepest gratitude and admiration for Dr. Milstead, a truly remarkable physician whose care, compassion, and devotion have made an indelible impact on my life and, I'm certain, the lives of countless others. It's rare to encounter a doctor who combines such extraordinary medical expertise with a genuine, heartfelt commitment to his patients, but Dr. Milstead embodies this rare and wonderful qualities every single day. From the moment I met Dr. Milstead, I was struck by his warmth and attentiveness. He has an incredible ability to make you feel seen and heard, taking the time to listen to concerns, answer questions, and explain things in a way that's both comforting and clear. It's evident that he doesn't just see his patients as cases or numbers_he sees us as people, and he cares deeply about our well-being. That kind of empathy is a gift, and it shines through in every interaction. What sets Dr. Milstead apart is his unwavering dedication. He goes above and beyond, not just in diagnosing and treating illnesses, but in ensuring his patients feel supported every step of the way. I've witnessed firsthand how he pours his heart into his work, whether it's following up to check on progress, researching the best possible options, or simply offering a kind word when it's needed most. His passion for helping others is inspiring, and it's clear that being a doctor isn't just his profession_it's his calling. I can't say enough about how much Dr. Milstead's care has meant to me. In moments of uncertainty or worry, his steady presence and thoughtful approach have provided not just medical solutions, but also hope and reassurance. He is the kind of doctor who restores your faith in healthcare, reminding you that there are still people out there who truly care about making a difference, one patient at a time. Dr. Milstead is a treasure_a brilliant, caring, and devoted doctor who exemplifies what medicine should be. I feel incredibly fortunate to have him as my physician, and I know I'm not alone in that sentiment. He is a blessing to his patients and a credit to his profession.

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.
