Dr. Gruber is always very timely. Our time as well as his is very important. I live fairly close to Northwestern and even on a good day I can get delayed by traffic. He is very understanding he asked good questions smart questions. He’s interested in how I am feeling and how I have been feeling. Am I progressing through any aches or pains that I may have developed or not at this visit but the visit prior he noticed that I was leaning to one side slightly and his investigation into the class was upfront and very important. I am grateful for Dr. Gruber. As well, Dr Gruber is very understanding intolerant. There was one time one. In fact, I was tardy for an appointment and it was my mistake. Dr. Gruber found the time to see me be thorough and to allow me to not have to come back downtown. He also is very understanding during a terrible thunderstorm power out at my house, and great winds knocked over part of a tree in the yard. He said, make an appointment when things settle down and you are organized. there was no care to me about missing set appointment on such a day and Dr. Gruber certainly only wanted me to be comfortable with my situation. That is a gift.

Disclosures

Gary H. Gruber, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2023.

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.
