5.0 star star star star starDr Ruderman has awesome bedside manner. He listens and always makes you feel like you are being heard. And more importantly, while I feel he absolutely is providing the best care out there he also has a way of making you feel very comfortable. He is always doing everything he can to help me manage my disease. I trust in his thoughts and suggestions and just have nothing by the highest regard for him.

5.0 star star star star starLuckily my medical problems that he is treating is pretty straightforward. The important thing to me is that he impression on me that he's monitoring my Health and is prepared to do anything that needs to be done if my condition changes. Knowing that he's just an email or phone call away makes it much easier to live with my condition. I don't know if the word bedside manners still laughable but he's very easy to talk to. 100% satisfied.

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.
