He was kind, thorough and helpful. He didn’t rush the appointment, he asked appropriate questions, and he gave me the opportunity to speak and ask questions. He immediately put my mind at ease about my abnormal blood count likely not being serious, yet he did not dismiss any health concerns I have regarding what he thinks is the reason for my low WBC. And he followed up everything we talked about with appropriate testing.

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.
