5.0 star star star star starDr Ayers shares the big picture and the long game as well as step by step (now, and six month out) options as we move along the continuum of my post-breast cancer care plan. He listens to my questions, giving thoughtful answers, and never discourages my own desire to read research studies to best understand and advocate for my own care. I highly recommend Dr Ayers.

5.0 star star star star starI really liked Dr. Ayers. This was my first visit with him. Very kind and took time to explain everything. He's very thorough and even called me back a day later with a few more suggestions after spending more time reviewing my case. I like the fact that I could get in very soon to see him after my PCP referred me to a hematologist.

Disclosures
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.
