Dr. Hawthorne exemplifies the best in a general practitioner. At the risk of repeating my earlier comment, he listens very well, he internalizes what he's hearing, he offers you options and helps you to come to the best decision, doing so in a kind and knowledgeable way. I couldn't ask for more in a doctor.

I had THE most thorough exam today! While I have a lot of serious conditions, we went over all of them. As a diabetic, he thoroughly expanded my feet and none of my previous NW primary care doctors did that. I am in good hands with Dr. Hawthorne and I feel safe. As a Senior, I depend on him for my limited life.

I had my transfer of care visit with Dr. Hawthorne and have already recommended him to three people. Having my PCP retire after so many years and some significant health issues it was hard to think of seeing someone new. Dr. Hawthorne was recommended by my PCP and I can see why. He was welcoming, aware of my history, answered my questions and made recommendations. I really liked that he did not stay stuck to the computer and wheeled over to me for face to face conversation. I did not feel rushed and EMT heard about concerns of aging. I will continue to see him and have made a follow up appointment already.

Disclosures

Daniel Elliot Hawthorne, 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.
