Bad bedside manner that felt like he was rushing through the procedure (cyst removal, local anesthesia only). He pushed through me expressing high levels of pain instead of pausing to numb me more. He didn't clean up his work station so the first thing I saw as I turned over after the procedure was bloody gauze and my removed cyst. Not to mention that the procedure was carried out during an appointment where I was expecting only a consultation. I actually signed the patient waiver for the procedure AFTER the procedure was finished. I would never see him again

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.
