He has extensive knowledge about cancer and the pharmacy that goes with it. I was pleased that he came today instead of his assistant because I had an extensive test called Guardian 360. I wanted info from him He was very patient and walked me through it and explained what my options were now. His assistant,Amy, was also excellent, because I don’t always hear baritone voices very well, and she stepped right in and repeated what he said. And had a lovely reassuring smile and extremely astute and knowledgeable about what the doctor said, and interpreted his words to me. Dr. Saghir is a gem for DeKalb Illinois. I ok no

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. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
