I have been a patient of Dr. Passman's on and off for 15 years. He is my favorite doctor. So much so, I compare his "bedside" deameanor to to all of my other healthcare providers. Many of whom are within the Northwestern Medicine practice. Dr. Passman puts his patients first and does not rush appointment or procedures. He consistentaly explains conditions in lay terms for patients to understand. He cares for the whole patient and their families, not just their condition.

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.
