I was a little nervous about my spinal fusion surgery; but after meeting with Dr. Jackson, I felt right at ease with his knowledge and kind words; I knew at that point that I was in good hands! Because my case was a little different from most; he explained to me fully on how he would perform the procedure. I was worried that my Parkinson's would. interfere with my surgery; but he put me at ease about that also.

Dr. Jackson was very calm and relaxed making me feel very much at ease throughout the appointment. He explained everything as he showed me the MRI images. It was great to have the visuals in front of me. He laid out a course of action that made a lot of sense to me.

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.
