5.0 star star star star starI felt that Dr Brenner had prepared for my visit by reviewing my history and spent an appropriate amount of time asking questions and actually listening to me. I'm hopeful testing will accurately diagnose my issues so I can relief!

5.0 star star star star starDr. Brenner is a wonderful doctor and an amazing human being. He truly cares about the wellbeing of his patients (this is not the norm today). Dr. Brenner and his team are responsive on Mychart and follow up in a timely manner. Dr. Brenner is thorough and takes appropriate time to understand patient issues and concerns. His social skills are superb - He speaks with the patient, not TO the patient. Dr. Brenner is truly a gem. I wish there were more physicians like him.

5.0 star star star star starHe took time outside of office time to thoroughly read my health history to prepare for our first visit since I've had to start anew because Dr. [ ] is not currently available. Dr. Brenner was empathetic and explained things very clearly. He took extra time to go through all the past history and current issues and offered some ideas new to me. He is friendly and enthusiastic about his job working with patients.

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.
