Dr. Engel works with me concerning my present symptoms- I have nocturia. He has coached me to try to get me not to drink liquids past 6:00pm. I've shared with him, that sometimes after I've used the bathroom (through the night), I sometimes get very good sleep. This puts me in a pretty good mood. Dr. Engel has shared with me what some of his other patients have done to minimize their symptoms. Dr Engel is personable and completes his job with energy to spare.

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.
