Dr. Fox provided in depth analysis of my test results. He takes the time to explain what the tests are for, what the various results mean, and how I can make changes in my everyday habits and life to improve my overall health to avoid serious health issues in the future. By taking the time to do this, Dr. Fox is incredibly helpful, and gives me the knowledge I need to really feel in control of my health, and ensure that any questions I have are answered, and I understand what I need to be doing after I leave, and what I need to be looking for. He is phenomenal!!

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.
