My daughter was very sick and nervous to be at the doctor. From the second Dr. Harenburg walked in, he was so gentle and friendly and kind. I could see my daughter feel more and more relaxed the more Dr. Harenburg spoke. He spoke directly to her in a tone toddlers respond to. He was so great with her the whole time.

Dr Harenburg is the gold standard to which all pediatricians should aspire. It is not always easy to determine what my medically-complex kids need but he is smart and thorough, and he makes decisions based on their long-term best interests. They are doing so much better with his guidance.

I have 3 medically & educationally complex children who are dependent on medical technology. Dr Harenburg listens carefully, thinks critically, and continually puts my daughters' long-term best interests first, even in situations which may be complicated or inconvenient. After years of effort, he has pinpointed what they need to truly start thriving, and their functioning in all domains has vastly improved as a result. They now have such bright futures, thanks in no small part to Dr H's problem-solving and decision-making.

We wish every child had a physician like Dr. Bill. We feel fortunate that our son has the privilege of being in his care. Dr. Bill welcomes every question without judgement. He approaches care and visits with great energy and some humor, which is important to us. We want our son to look forward to visits with his care team and we feel Dr. Bill's approach makes all the difference in making that possible. As parents, we appreciate that Dr. Bill is hip to the wide range of parenting methods and baby gear that target new parents like us. If we bring something new to him, he always takes time to have a look and form an opinion. His encouragement and enthusiasm is above and beyond. We always leave his office feeling more confident in how we're doing in caring for our son.

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.
