5.0 star star star star starDr. Sonabend took the time to talk to my wife and I to understand my condition. He explained my medical issues, provided his opinion in the approach he would take and explained his rationale in a easy to understand, thoughtful process. Most importantly, he gave my comfort and confidence in knowing I found a doctor that was truly looking out for my best interest. Should I need a medical procedure done in the future, he’s the doctor I can trust with no reservations.

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.
