I like the care Dr Malalis gives me and his recommendations. My current local healthcare provider has discontinued mask wearing for several months. I have chronic sinus infections which the mask heightens the symptoms. This is enough to make me take my healthcare elsewhere.

Dr. Wendel Malalis is so wonderful. I don't feel like he's judging me, he treats me like a person and most Dr's don't do that. I would recommend him to anyone that is looking for and endocrinologist. I can't say enough things about him. I've never had a bad visit when it comes to him even when the test aren't good. He makes me feel like its all going to be ok always

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.
