I found Dr Bednard very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He addressed my concerns, and explained my options. I did not feel rushed or dismissed. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a caring Internist. I would also like to add that Mary, who took my information, temp, and B/P was lovely, caring and efficient. All around a pleasant experience that one doesnâ€™t always find in a doctorâ€™s office.

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.
