Dr. Grohe had familiarized himself with my eye history before the appointment even began, and I was so surprised that it hadn't been necessary to bring copies of past assessments with me. He took time to explain my current vision issues and was very reassuring about what other parts of their department to coordinate with as a next step. He listened to my concerns and answered my questions in a very supporting manner.

I left my visit with Dr Grohe today feeling incredibly positive and thought to myself â€œI wish we all had colleagues as positive as he is.â€ He is basically a hype machine for all the other doctors there and the care they give me. But he is also great at taking care of my needs himself and deserves his own hype machine. :-). Thanks to him for taking care of me for many years!

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.

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.
