5.0 star star star star starDr. Clyde Yancy’s care is the highest quality experienced at Northwestern Hospital. His care and treatment plans are patient centered, clear and motivating. He speaks from a place of scientific research and clinical expertise. I could not ask for a better experience, particularly given the severity of my life threatening cardiac journey, resulting from COVID 19. I resoundingly recommend Dr. Yancy and feel especially privileged to have him as my cardiologist, whom collaborated with and led the extraordinary cardiac team that saved my life.

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.
