He is friendly and professional. I believe he cares about his patients. It seems like he is careful not to express judgment of patients and instead focuses on what I can do to improve my health and take care of myself. He listens and considers my own impressions of what is wrong and takes this into consideration when also applying his own medical knowledge.

This visit made my week, month even. I felt heard, he is so understanding and truly cares to ensure patient is in good health- physically, mentally & emotionally. Bar none, the best bedside manner. As above: Dr Fox is the kindest, smartest & most empathetic Dr we have had. He literally feels like you’re talking to family, a cool uncle or cousin. He really cares & helps to come up w any solutions to issues or pain points we are experiencing. Also, nurse Whitney was wonderful & always welcoming kind w a dose of good humor! We love Dr Fox n staff!

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.
