Dr. Laila Gharzai and her staff nurse Janine are, without a doubt, the best team I have ever encountered. They take the time to explain everything and answer all my questions. They demonstrate compassion, empathy, while being professional. Dr. Laila Gharzai is unique. I have developed a fondness for her and Janine and look forward to seeing them on my appointment.

As noted above she is an outstanding doctor. I had a tumor removed in October of last year. She has taken control of my required CT's and possible Pet scans as a follow up. I have complete trust and faith in her. As a result, my anxiety about the possible recurrence of cancer has lessened.

Disclosures

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.
