He must be one of the best doctors I have ever met. He gives one so much hope and takes good care of his patients. I believe that he not only professionally but personally takes care of every individual patient that is under him at Oncology NWM. Every visit with Dr Zaidi gives me lots of hope. Bless you Dr Zaidi.

I have had experiences with other oncologists/hemotologists in the past and Dr. Zaidi was far and beyond the most professional, caring, and patient blood specialists I have encountered. In the past, other hemotologists have made me feel rushed, ignored, and disresepcted. Instead, Dr. Zaidi made me feel important, understood, trusted, and respected. I would highly recommend him over the other blood specialists I have encountered.

Disclosures

Fawwad Iqbal Zaidi, 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.
