Brett is a professional who's a knowledgable team member in treating orthopaedics patients. He was involved in my surgery so there was a sense of continuity in pre-op and post-op visits and care. He spent time examining my foot, reading ex-rays, answering questions and providing info requested at my six week post-op exam. I am extremely happy with Dr. [last name]'s surgical skills as well as his competent team, of which Brett Wassink is highly regarded.

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.
