please revise this questionnaire. there is no need to respond to Q 1 if your comments in Q 2 are positive and complimentary. My request for an appointment was made diring my first phone call to this office, and for a date within two weeks of my call. Dr. Ostergaard was prompt, personable, and sat at a narrow table opposite me: (not across the room on a computer) which is so frequently the situation with other practitioners of many disciplines. Dr. Ostergaard had knowledge about the condition affecting my hands, explained the cause, and drew a diagram of the hand, including the mechanics that caused my swollen fingers to snap while attempting to pass the tendon through the space naturally allotted for that purpose. The Doctor also offered options for treatment, answered my questions, and involved me in the decision.

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.
