Dr. Pittman has consistently and correctly diagnosed my surgical needs two times in the last ten years. I feel completely confident in his recommendations and subsequent surgery. He communicates in a clear and concise manner so that I know why I have experienced pain and discomfort and how he plans ot fix that.

Dr. Pittman remembered me from the surgery he performed in 2016. He had pulled up and studied my records carefully prior to my arrival. He even shared MRI imagery with me that was on record at NWM. He came up with a diagnosis and plan of action that I could understand and am looking forward to.

Disclosures

Matthew R. Pittman, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

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. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
