5.0 star star star star starI have had Dr. Persell as my PCP for more than 12 years, and he is hands-down the smartest, kindest, most attentive, and most caring physician I have ever had (including at other major academic medical centers in the US). I never feel rushed with him; he always listens to my concerns, takes all the time I need to ensure my questions are answered, and provides thoughtful and highly evidence-based advice for my care. He is always willing to pressure test ideas and discuss benefits and risks of a variety of options. I value him and his expertise very much, and Northwestern is lucky to have him.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Persell advocates for his patients health and is genuinely concerned for their over all well-being; mental, physical. Since I have been seeing him, my health has improved immensely. I have gotten my first colonoscopy, do routine mammograms and see a therapist. His suggestions are impactful and his time and diligence is invaluable. Northwestern is lucky to have a doctor who listens, respects, understands a patient’s concerns and provides tremendous feedback and care. He is a thoughtful physician and his bedside manner is pleasant and positive. You can tell he is enthusiastic about seeing patients and follows-up with the most current practices in medicine today. Am truly grateful he is my doctor. It

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.
