Dr. Salas actually has seen once before this recent time when I broke my toe. He’s very outgoing and he goes the extra mile to solve your confusion and questions. He’s very reassuring not because he knows how to be confident because his actions show reassurance. Other doctors will see you 4-5 minutes and say “here’s a prescription” and that’s it. Salas takes his time to get to know what he’s encountering and looking for the solution to make us feel better.

Miguel A. Salas, MD, MPH reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2023.

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.
