Dr Witzel listened to me and tried a new medical approach after my coughing and shortness of breath in the Spring. He prescribed an inhaled steroid which slowly but surely made my asthma symptoms "go away". During my annual Medicare visit on Nov 18, he was very pleased not only with my response to the new prescription, but also to the results of all my yearly blood tests.....look at my high HDL results!

Disclosures

Steven Witzel, 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.
