The visit was to re-establish care & annual bloodwork. The med student I met with first, Hannah, was attentive, took the time to understand my medical history & was ready to plan a course of action for my future care that I was comfortable with. I then discussed my care with Dr. Fox after who was also attentive & ready to address any concerns although the blood work was the main thing I wanted to complete this visit. Iâ€™ll be continuing my care with them moving forward given the positive experience thus far.

Dr David Fox has been my primary care physician for sometime now. He is wonderful! Dr. Fox is the reason I receive all my care at Northwestern now. He is so thorough. I have a complicated medical condition and he always reads ahead and is aware of appointments Iâ€™ve had in between and what went on. He always said when he talks to me and which makes me feel I have his undivided attention. He is efficient yet. I never feel I am rushed during the appointment.

Disclosures

David J. Fox, 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.
