5.0 star star star star starI found Dr Freed to be very pleasant, easy to speak with. He reviewed my history with me and made sure my concerns and questions were answered. A new medication was discussed and I was given an explanation for its use, possibly side effects and its long term benefits. I really felt he and his team were focused on me.

5.0 star star star star starI appreciate how Dr. Freed takes the time to discuss various aspects of my care - everything from why he was ordering a new blood test (could result in a change in dosage) to my health club workouts.

5.0 star star star star starIn my first meeting, Dr Freed wanted me to share with him (in some detail) my experience post surgery as well as the path that led to my surgery. He wanted to know about “me†rather than what my chart told him about me. Without question, his knowledge is exceptional and the combination of his care and experience gives me a high level of confidence and satisfaction working with him.

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.
