5.0 star star star star starThis was the second meeting my Jill & I had with Dr. Southgate about my ongoing hip isues, in particular, the right one. Again, he is very competent, knowledgeable, and precise in his approach to treatment (much like the majority of NW doctors I've encountered over my many years of going there).

5.0 star star star star starDr. Southgate was amazing. From the very beginning he discussed all of my options regarding surgery, pain management, recovery time and the progress to expect. In addition to personalized instructions, Dr. Southgate provided ample printed information and guidelines for physical timelines. During each post surgery visit, Dr. Southgate asked what I think is the best question I have ever been asked by a medical provider, "Is there anything you wish we would have told you to expect?".

5.0 star star star star star1. Before I arrived for my first appointment, he had googled me to know a bit about me. Impressive. 2. See above. 3. He is cautious about treatments, wanting to check lower-level interventions before more invasive ones.

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.
