Outstanding physician. Kind, personable, and he really listens. He explained my diagnosis thoroughly and and answered all my questions. I truly feel that he cared about me and my well-being. Sometimes as a patient you feel like just a number. I’m sure they see tons of patients all day and it can become monotonous after a while. I didn’t feel like that with Dr. Shah. He gave me his undivided attention and energy.

Disclosures

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.
