Erik took his time to explain everything that happened to me in detail regarding my work injury and in detail what happened to me , also recommended a ankle/ foot dr. For fused ankle on lft side regarding my circulation. Great Bedside manner, honest, didn't sugar coat. My recovery time told being. It's going to be a long recovery and painful. But with the right rehab, I will get better in time. I give him a 10 rating because he was honest and concerned about my health and recovery, highly recommend Erik

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.
