Brett Wassink has been very wonderful to me. He has explained all possible outcomes of my toe’s condition clearly and honestly. He is attentive to my needs and questions as a patient even during the busiest hours of his day. Brett provided me with plenty of bandages, iodine, and gauze and showed me how to properly wrap my toe. Brett also helped me with my pain management immensely and I could not be more grateful for the care/medication I received for the first couple weeks of my recovery. I was in so much pain that my daily quality of life and sleep were affected greatly. Thank you for calming me down when I was anxiously worried about my toe, and thank you for continuing to care for my recovery. I would recommend Brett to anyone.

Disclosures

Brett D. Wassink, PA-C reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2023.

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. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
