I explained what I was feeling and he examined me. He informed me of what he seen and how is should be functioning which I appreciated. He even drew me a visual which was more perfect because I'm a visual person so it clicked as to why I was feeling the way I was. He was thorough and still quick was also a plus because I was not feeling so hot and barely made it there in the first place, so greatly appreciated.

I only spoke over the phone with him but I greatly appreciated his proactive approach to my concerns, rather than addressing one thing per visit like it is the case if I go to a Doctor appointment in the hospital. I had all the tests needed at once which saved me time and let me know what I was dealing with in a shorter time.

Disclosures

Carl J. Gustas Sr, DO reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2023.

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.
