Dr. Gershon checked my heart, lungs,,ears and throat as I came in with upper throat pain. Dr. Gershon also checked my thyroid per my request.He ordered a rapid strep, Covid and flu, test. He was foresighted enough to order a longer germination test for strep even though all my rapids were negative. Turns out he was right--I did test positive! Yea, Dr. Gershon.

I very much appreciated that he went over not just this visit but my visit from 10 days ago and the emergency room visit. What a good thing your computer databases are. It let him see all those records. He went over what was done last time, and why he was making some minor changes, and explained that we would have to do a 3rd visit in two more weeks and why that was justified.

Disclosures

Michael A. Gershon, DO 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. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
