5.0 star star star star starDr. Attar has a very good demeanor and bedside manner. He comes off sincere and honest. In addition, he is very laid back but still conveys the reality and severity of what needs to happen. We have been very happen with him.

5.0 star star star star starHe calmed my fears about the surgery he performed. Nice doctor. Only thing is I was disappointed that I had to go down town. I was told there was not anyone else in north western closer to where I live in Round Lake Beach that could take care of my issue.

When I come to see Dr. Attar, Cherie comes to talk with me after. Her words are healing and I am grateful for her presence. I feel very taken care of by Dr. Attar and Cherie. They make an impressive team.

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.
