Dr. Lu has been my internist for many years. I trust his judgment, suggestions and treatments without hesitation. I’m very grateful to have him as my primary caregiver. He keeps up to date with all basic aspects of medical knowledge. He never makes me feel judged in any way. He always follows through promptly with communication after an exam or a question I ask via My Chart. He is a very fine person and an excellent physician.

Evan S. Lu, MD 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.
