The last 2+ years I've been a patient of Dr [ ] who was excellent and who I had great trust in. I was very disappointed to no longer have him as my doctor. Yesterday I had my first visit with Dr Lorch and I was extremely impressed with the doctor and his entire staff. I've been a bit apprehensive about the switch to seeing another doctor but after my first appointment with Dr Lorch I feel at ease with the change and can see it's going to be a very smooth transition.

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.
