5.0 star star star star starDr. Ganshirt reassured me that it would be an easy surgery and he was right. He did a great job, was super kind, and even called me himself with the pathology results. That was incredible as I've never had a doctor call me directly, especially not with good news, which this was.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Ganshirt. He has a calming approach when you get some bad news about surgery again. He is professional yet personal in his explanations. Both myself and husband are patient's and he remembers your names.

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.
