Dr. Sam Ho is the best neurologist I have ever been to. I have been to two others. He was the only doctor who was able to find out what was causing my problem and offer a solution. I suffered with neuropathy for 10 years. He is kind thorough and answers all your questions. I see why he is ranked as one of the best in his field!

I have been seeing Dr. Ho for decades. He has consistently been a great diagnostician and extremely knowledgeable neurologist. Further, because he is a neurologist and an ophthalmologist, he had the experience and knowledge to evaluate and treat my congenital eye condition and migraines. He is also friendly, on time and professional.

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.

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.
