5.0 star star star star starDr. Later was very easy to talk to and explained things to me so I could understand them. I am considering changing my neurologist and going to him instead. Check in was easy and facility was clean and inviting.

5.0 star star star star starHe is worth the wait to get in to see him which can be months away from scheduling your appointment. He will give you the time to resolve any issues without feeling rushed through. He listens intently to really hear what your issues are and diligently works to find a solution.

5.0 star star star star starI was seeing dr later for first time in 10 years. He was very pleasant through and knowledgeable. It was kinda like running into an old friend along the way (having such a rare condition like I do) instead of a regular doctor. Although an extremly sharp doctor!

5.0 star star star star starDr. Later is the best!! I have not been feeling well for quite some time. He is really trying to help and is going above and beyond his job to try to help me figure out what is the cause of my illness. Thank you Dr. Later!

5.0 star star star star starI felt like Dr. Later took the time to really listen to me and my concerns. The appointment lasted over an hour because he didn't rush our visit and wanted to listen to everything I said carefully then thoroughly explain everything to me. I left that appointment finally feeling like I'd actually been seen by a doctor rather than tossed on to the next person.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Later's active listening skills are top notch. I really feel like he's invested in finding out how to help me and that means a lot. He ordered an MRI with/without contrast..After the test were performed he responded with detailed notes shortly after.. In my experience with other doctors, it takes days or sometimes a week to hear a response. Grateful to have Dr. Later as part of my healthcare team!!

5.0 star star star star starDr Later was so personable and his bedside manner was incredible. I have seen so many doctors while dealing with this chronic pain and migraines with little results. It feels like a bandaid trying to cover a broken bone nothing seems to help for any period of time. He discussed different ways in which we could try to eliminate or at least turn down the pain. And although I waited almost 3 months to get in it was so worth the wait. Thank you so much and May God's blessings be with you

5.0 star star star star starHe spends time with me, never ever makes me feel like I'm being rushed. He asks questions and helps you decipher symptoms. He is absolutely determined to help me live as pain free of a life as possible. He makes me feel heard, important and he also acknowledges my fears and explains in detail what is happening with my nervous system and offers multiple options to find what will suit me best. Outstanding. Best doctor I've ever seen!

1.0 star star_border star_border star_border star_borderMy comment above speaks for itself. This practitioner was very ill-advised it seemed as if he's been treating my care for so long and knew everything about me made it very difficult to get my point across.

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.
