5.0 star star star star starDr Emmons is completely thorough. He looks beyond the present symptoms at the big picture to check if there could be any further complications. He then explains everything in great detail so I completely understand why he is ordering a specific test. I also appreciate how concerned & caring he is! He’s above excellent. As an RN who has worked with many doctors in my 50 years experience, Dr Emmons stands out as one of the best!

5.0 star star star star starHe’s prompt. He’s thorough. He’s open to discussion. My cholesterol was high. He offered medication that i didn’t want to take, so instead we discussed diet. Also discussed options of cologuard vs colonoscopy. I appreciate options. And i appreciate attempts to avoid medications when they’re not needed

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.
