5.0 star star star star starDr. Hanauer is a wonderful and very thorough doctor. More importantly, he is one that is not rushed to judgment. He is a doctor that would patiently and closely listen to your complaints in chief, and, take every step imaginable to find the underlying cause of my medical condition which he has. What a gem Doctor Hanauer and his staff is!

1.0 star star_border star_border star_border star_borderIf he could treat me this way, Im sure there are others. To bad, I was very saddened, considering I researched him and had high hopes. He then put me down in his notes! Very unprofessional

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.
