He immediately came up with a treatment plan and took me through every single step thoroughly. He is extremely nice and really cares about finding the problem to treat exactly what it is needed and help the patient live an easier life. He answered every one of my questions because I was scared and helped me see that it wasn't going to be as bad as it immediately seemed. He takes any information he learns from a patient and applies it to his practice. He made it quick and easy and it wasn't rushed. He connects really well with people and respected my pronouns and preferred name as it was nothing difficult. Obviously accepting of the transgender community.

Disclosures

Richard Paguia, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2023.

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.
