I really appreciated not only the amount of time he took to talk to me but also to answer my daughter's questions. I appreciated his prompt feedback in Mychart to my labs before and after surgery. I also felt in the time he was with me, he was focused on me and making sure I understood everything that went on and what needed to do to stay healthy going forward. I can't say enough good things about the care I received.

He was kind, caring, and thorough during my follow-up visit. He told me he had assisted Dr. Kay with the surgery, though I didn't know (or remember?) it at the time. I would like to add a word of commendation for Dr. Kay, who had been highly recommended by two people I know, for both his skill and his care for patients. I'm glad I listened to them because they were right!

Michael was amazing. He is an excellent addition to Dr. [ ] staff. He was pleasant, had good humor, he explained EVERYTHING clearly so my Mom could understand. He was caring with her, as she doesn't hear well and he did not get frustrated with that. I really enjoyed our visit with him.

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.
