5.0 star star star star starThe doctor seemed concerned for my well being. Listened to my issues and came up with a plan to get to the root of my issues. He kept my care going and progressing right from the start with x-rays, an mri, and medication.

5.0 star star star star starFirst 2 visits were very short, but 3rd was excellent. He was professional and willing to spend extra time responding to my many questions, which truly improved my comfort with him as my doctor. He also ENCOURAGED me to seek a 2nd opinion to assure I am getting the best treatment. I thought that was impressive.

3.0 star star star star_border star_borderHe was nice...just seemed quick...not much explanation about the ANA score...seems like so much of medicine is rushed through without any good communication with the patient. This is why we consult Dr. Google.

4.0 star star star star star_borderHe seems knowledgeable, professional and competent. I just wish my diagnosis was taken seriously and coordinated with my other Northwestern physicians. This illness has interrupted my life for almost 3 months. He spent a short time with me, given I was a new patient. I was probably irritated by the long wait.
Disclosures
Ibrahim Alghafeer, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.
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.
