We HAVE recommended Doctor Shah. He gives us the feeling that he is interested caring and does say if he doesnâ€™t know the cause of our problem. Then orders tests to check suspicions. He called my husband to personally give test reports and give instructions on further care. He acts genuinely concerned for our complaints and wants to remedy our problems. He is not hard to get into see. He keeps openings for his â€œsickâ€ patients.

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.
