5.0 star star star star starPrimarily, Dr Macek has, used his rare abilities and motivations to bring no prejudices to our initial interactions today. He immediately adapted to the individual that I am, without astoundingly without prejudice. Dr Macek adapted to my intellect, my education, my professional vocabulary - so that our physician/patient relationship was immediately on the est initial platform we could communicate from. And this, between he, Dr [last name], Dr [last name] and I, (- present-for-all, my highly intelligent and highly educated husband, [spouse's first name]) . . . . . . made for a Most Valuable and medically productive appointment. I am very pleased to have been matched with Dr [last name]. I look forward to the productivity of our further interactions, and learning more about my current troubling [diagnosis] concerns .

5.0 star star star star starDr. Macek has excellent bedside manner, is knowledgeable and extremely clear when sharing information (without needing to be prompted especially in situation where 'I don't know what I don't know given this is my first pregnancy'). He is very reassuring and would give recommendations on the dos and don'ts. Dr. Macek is compassionate, understanding, and caring. I can tell he is detailed when reviewing his patient's chart. He is very easy to talk to, takes the time to listen, and doesn't make you feel like you are being rushed out of the room so he can get to his next patient.

5.0 star star star star starDr Macek is wonderful. You can see his sense of pride for his profession when speaking to him. He genuinely enjoys his job, and working with pregnant moms. He's educated me so much this pregnancy with vaccines, what foods to stay away from, and is very informative. I have a lot of gratitude towards him and the rest of my providers there.

5.0 star star star star starDoctor Macek is one of the most caring doctors I have had the pleasure of having. His staff is no different and will go the length to make sure all is well. He does not rush you in and out, expect a wait because he takes time with his patients and actually listens. He is highly professional yet personable, which makes each visit a pleasant experience.

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.
