Dr. Ahmad took on the challenge my procedure presented, and he didn't give up. He stayed with the needs of his patient. I am humbled, astonished, and all the better for his knowledge and surgical skill. I already am experiencing the benefits of the procedure. I am also humbled by Dr, Ahmad's diligence in checking in on me after my surgery. He was fully aware of and actively engaged with what was happening during my recovery and hospitalization.

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.
