I actually look forward to my kids appointments with Dr. Tapas. His delivery of knowledge and intervention is calm and informative. That, in my opinion, says a lot considering that this was a sibling appointment involving a baby and toddler. This is exactly what I need for my kids, calm informative delivery of knowledge and intervention. And his joking funny personality takes the edge off my nervousness surrounding these appts within minutes. Thank you Dr. Tapas!

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.
