Dr Silverberg is like your family doctor. He never tries to give unnecessary tests. He goes over everything regarding your history. He lets you know what you need to work on like your weight which no one wants to hear. Bottom line he cares about his patients.

Dr. Silverberg did the most thorough and comprehensive assessment that I have received from a physician in over 20 years. In addition to this, he was extremely informative and understanding, as well as concise in his instructions. While I could certainly get a cardiologist in the Peoria area, I will likely just continue on with Dr. Silverberg and make the drive up to the city for my follow-ups. I have worked with quite a few cardiologists over the years, and he exemplifies what I feel all of them should be striving for in their own practice.

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.
