Dr.Mugisha does his profession a great honor. He is intelligent, making him extremely knowledgeable about many things regarding cardiac issues. His doctor patient manner is some of the best I have ever experienced. It was a pleasure to talk with him and to discuss my health and care plan with him.

Dr Mugisha took the time to address concerns I had. Most important he was very knowledgeable when it came to my other medical issues not related to cardiology. Most doctors don’t know my conditions or understand what they are. Dr Mugisha knew exactly what my conditions were and if they would affect my heart or not. This was very important to me considering a lot of doctors I’ve visited through the years don’t know or don’t understand my conditions.

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.

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.
