He obviously knows his stuff but comes across as a friend would when discussing issues. He took plenty of time with me and my wife and was prepared to spend even more, but we had covered all issues before he was called away by a nurse. Personable, completely relatable.

Dr. Posner is very informative when I first spoken to him back in January. I'm no longer under radiation treatments. But I'm very grateful on the great work Dr. Posner has done. So I would highly recommend him if anyone should ask me.

He was very thorough in explaining everything. His knowledge of my situation made it less stressful for me to deal with the treatments I have ahead. He answered all my questions with honesty and compassion for what I am going through! I feel he looks at each patient individually and designs a treatment for their specific needs. I am very fortunate to have this doctor on my Cancer team!

Dr Posner was so open and easy to talk to. He explained what the next steps would be in my treatment. He answered my questions about risk and benefits. I Especially appreciated that I did not feel rushed and he was willing to stay as long as I wanted to discuss my care. At the end of our meeting, I told him I was glad that he was a member of my team.

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.
