Dr. Boholst is the BEST doctor that I have ever been to. He takes the time to listen to you and always finds the right cure to make you feel better. My favorite part about Dr. Boholst is that he genuinely cares about his patients and doesn't make you feel like a number. Bonus: his nurses are "rockstars" too! When I can't get in to see the doctor, they always follow up with a phone call if I feel really sick and help with getting me a prescription or whatever I need to feel better. Their attention to care is top-notch, and I can't thank them enough.

He has good patient care and seems warm and caring. I'm a skeptic about medicine in a specific sense sometimes and I don't always understand why certain very expensive measures have to be applied when I don't seem to believe it is necessary. But I might be wrong, of course, which is why I gave a generous score.

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.
