5.0 star star star star starHe is a very knowledgeable and caring doctor, and offers the best choice for me, given his experience, background at Cleveland Clinic, and now head of thoracic surgery at Northwestern, where I was followed by Dr. [name] for a number of years before moving to Florida.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Douglas Johnston is superb! I am very grateful to have him as my surgeon. He is so nice and answered all my questions and was very thorough and explained what would the surgery would entail. I met also with the other surgeon and he was so nice too. I was very impressed today meeting them both. Its been a long road for me going to see so many specialists and having so many tests done this past year. I am lucky and fortunate to have them on my team. Thank you to Northwestern Medicine for your excellence!

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.
