Again, I am very thankful and impressed with my first meeting with the doctor, however, recommendations would come with more time under his care. I just have no experience as of yet in my follow up, or in this journey with meds with him. I look forward to moving forward under his care.

He is simply the best! He was the most thorough and made some significant contributions to my health. He asked over and over again if I had any questions. Very simple thing to do, but doctors rarely do that. He would say, "do you have any questions about anything?" Made me think. He kept going back to my medicine and making sure he had my dosage correct. He came in with a page of notes and added to them as we talked. Really the best doctor I have seen at Northwestern.

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.
