Dr. Shah has been the only Doctor I've seen that makes me feel truly heard. He not only addresses the health of his patients, he acknowledges his patients as a whole. The level of care and respect he weaves into his care plans, is what I truly admire about him. He's not there to simply just treat symptoms and send me on my way, he asks clarifying questions and takes an interest in what I think because he wants nothing but the best for me, all while making sure I am comfortable. I truly feel safe in his care and I would argue, is absolutely unmatched as a provider, especially with his delivery regarding patient care. Thank you Doctor Shah.

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.
