3.0 star star star star_border star_borderOnce I complained about the lack of communication with my surgery plans he immediately called and explained everything to me. I appreciate the time he took to explain it to me but wish while I was an inpatient that communication with the surgery team was better and more straightforward.

3.0 star star star star_border star_borderI’m very thankful he was available to do my emergency surgery and took care of it for me. I was at CDH last week. I guess he did a fine job. I was really disappointed with my postop visit today, which lasted all of three minutes.

5.0 star star star star starWhen a person has a medical condition and need special care from a medical professional, it is comforting to find a Dr. that you trust. All a patient want is the truth and honesty and Dr. Klem did exactly what he said he would do. I am confident that there isn't a better medical team than that of Dr. Klem. So, any friend and family member of mine seeking medical care in his area of expertise, I would be honored to recommend him.
Disclosures
David A. Klem, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.
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.
