Dr. York is very knowledgeable, professional and personable. He listens to me and answers my questions. He is a wonderful physician and I have known him since 2013 when I shattered my leg and ankle. He performed surgery and treated me during that time and my experience was 100% perfect. His quality of caring and care he provides are the same today, and I know that I can count on him as I continue to age. In fact he told me so. A very special human being and physician.

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.
