5.0 star star star star starI have been treated by several different doctors at the transplant clinic over the years with previous transplant surgery. Dr. Friedewald is in a class all by himself. Dr. Friedewald is an attentive and seasoned specialty physician. His bedside manner is pleasant. He knows my history well and listens to concerns about my health and medication. I've had renal concerns for over 40 years. Dr. Friedewald communicates with me in a way that acknowledges my vast experience with renal treatment and teaches me more. I always learn from him. I'm lucky to have a seasoned transplant doctor who has a passion for working in the clinic with patients. I am grateful.

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.
