Dr Shapiro had thoroughly read my chart and previous gastro events. He was also inquisitive as to my symptoms and suggested ways to help me and he let me have input and decide. He listened to my questions and goals for the visit and acted accordingly. Also he had a very pleasant style. I am confident that he will be the best person to oversee the interaction of the treatments and concern. IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT!,,

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.

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.
