Asked questions about my condition, Listened!, Examined me - didn't rush me. Thorough. Let me ask the questions I needed to ask. Compassionate. You just know when you find a good doctor. Would highly recommend this doc. I had a doctor at this urgent care in the past say to me - I'm not going to examine you - anything with the Abdomen - you just need a scan. Was so glad this doc didn't pull that on me.

Dr. G was great. Even though I was seeing him for serious reasons he welcomed me and talked to me as a friend. He checked my incisions and insured they were healing and in good standing. He explained my breathing was also good. Dr.G was an excellent doctor.

I almost never meet a doctor who knows what Addison's Disease is and how it affects me. I am always able to let my guard down when I know a doctor understands my autoimmune disease.

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.
