5.0 star star star star starMore physicians should be like Dr. Posner who is both smart and caring. When you are with him, he gives as much time as you need answering all questions, and enlarging the conversation to areas not thought of by the patient(me). The hospital is truly fortunate to have Dr. Posner

5.0 star star star star starOne of the most personable doctors I have worked with, who also spent as much time as needed to cover the complexity of treatment options in ways that were easily understood. His background and experience with my issues added to the comfort level. His policies on communication and review of medical records also set him apart.

5.0 star star star star starDr Posner is very engaging and has a great bedside manner. He took the time to explain everything that was happening and could potentially happen. Not once did I feel rushed. He has an awesome personality. Very enjoyable to talk with. His nurse Royanne was also the same way. Every doctor and nurse team should be this way!

5.0 star star star star starHe made us feel welcome and very comfortable. He spent time explaining what the course and length of treatment would be. He even gave us the option of a shorter version of treatment. He made sure that I knew it was my choice about accepting treatment. My husband and I walked away knowing that I was in good hands with Dr. Posner.

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.
