I send all my friends and family to Dr. Milstead and trust him wholeheartedly. He diagnosed me with a very hard to diagnose condition that even pulmonologists at Mayo Clinic could not diagnose me with. He is diagnostically and clinically excellent and his bedside manner is supportive and empathetic.

Dr. Milstead is an exceptional physician in an era when doctors are in danger of becoming technicians rather than clinicians. He preserves the humanist traditions that define the heart of medicine. He recently made an exceptional effort to unearth medical records that the hospital records department could not locate. I am truly grateful.

Of all the primary care physicians I've "seen" post the retirement of Dr [ ], who was my PCP beginning 1979, Dr Milstead is the only physician who in my mind's eye both "measures up & reminds me" of the elevated sense of caring I always experienced on my appointments with Dr [ ].

Chadwick V. Milstead, MD 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.
