He listened to my concerns. I can not say the same for Jordan Breisch. I had a hearing test, she was very uncaring and rude no patient skills. I did not go back and would not go back to her.

Visit was very unremarkable and not very helpful. However to his credit, 30 minutes after I left he called to let me know that he would not be submitting a prescription for a new medication we discussed becuase it contained an ingredient on my allergy list. I really appreciated that.

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.
