Dr Yancy's calm, knowledgeable, compassionate and thorough checkups has given me confidence that I'm receiving the best care and that he truly is invested in my health. Dr Yancy questions and actually listens to my responses/concerns patiently and his soothing quiet voice is assuring when answering or giving input on my treatment plan. Dr Yancy has called himself to inquire about my health status, provide medical direction in addition to having his nurse Maribel follow up on my progress.

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.
