My previous primary doctor did not take the time out to listen to my problem with my right foot.

Dr Poronsky has a very calming soothing, and polite demeanor and disposition. This transfers to the patient during the exam. One feels very comfortable sharing their health matters with him, and great part due to the way he puts one at ease. All the way around the doctor gets more information from the relaxed patient offering it up. That makes it a definite win-win for the medical professionals and patients and his/her family.

Albert B. Poronsky, DO reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

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.
