Dr Towne has been caring for me since 1999. Subsequently, he also cared for my husband until his death in 2018. He brought my husband, who was a challenging patient, calmy and successfully through his surgery and treatment. He exemplifies what a good MD should be: excellent in his field, caring, very good communicator. Dr. Towne has a very good rapport with his staff and an excellent reputation with his peers. All his patients, including myself, are blessed to have Dr. Towne as our cardiologist.

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.
