Very considerate, kind and knowledgeable. Made me feel comfortable in an area that is not pleasant to discuss or work in ( in my opinion). He laughed along with me as my weird sense of humor emerged, and I appreciate his professionalism and personality.

He hasn't cared about the pain I still have after he did the surgery. He only says that time will heal him. It has been one of my worst experiences of pain in my body that has lasted for more than a month without healing since I saw this doctor, I prefer to see another doctor with him, not anymore.

Disclosures

John R. Andrews, 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. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
