He was very clear, pre-procedure, in his review of my previous colonoscopies, as well as being kind (which is important before a procedure). After the procedure, once again, he was clear - in reviewing the results.

Dr Ruchim is an extremely kind and caring Doctor. He made a special effort to see my [age] year old mother who has been in a great deal of pain. He takes time to understand patient concerns and explaining the diagnosis and a detailed plan of care. Dr Ruchim is knowledgeable and an expert in his field. Dr Ruchim encouraged my mother to contact him if the problem persists to move on to the next plan of care. Dr Ruchim is also my doctor.... My mother and I are fortunate that he is our doctor.

Disclosures

Michael A. Ruchim, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

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.
