5.0 star star star star starDr. Feder is as kind and fatherly as he is competent. He is very reassuring and i can immediately sense that he knows exactly what he is doing. He explained the process and really cares for his patients. He told me off the bat that he is going to be aggressive with the treatment of my cornea rejection.

5.0 star star star star starForthcoming in his findings. Never appears rushed. Always takes his time. Direct responses to questions. Attentive listener, pausing to allow for possible questions. Respectful to his assistants.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Feder is outstanding! He is a renowned expert, but not haughty; He is professional, yet kind; He explains then invites me to participate in decisions - in short he is everything one wants in a doctor, but seldom are all attributes possessed by one doctor.

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.
