Dr. Furey and his staff are angels of a medical team for my parents. I moved my parents from out of state to live permanently closer to me in Naperville into an assisted living facility. I was provided Dr. Furey's name from a co-worker and that he specializes in patients 65+. I was so impressed with the research regarding my parents and previous visit notes to not come into the first appointment without a clue what they were facing. He took his time and was very thorough with understanding their concerns and how to best approach the best care to address them. His staff helped us secure oxygen machine and get necessary paperwork to the assisted living facility in an expedited manner.

Same as above I have never seen a more dedicated group of three professionals. That have so much knowledge. And have 100% pure empathy, graciousness, patience and literally only want the best for their patients. They spend the time with you that you need. They fight for you. And due to having a social worker and a health coordinator on the same team with the doctor. There’s no words to explain how meaningful and appreciative I am for that. This is been a true blessing for Dr. Furey to take me on as a patient. For the first time in years. I feel safe, trust worthy and have no worries that any and all of my medical issues would not be addressed. They have given me hope. And any ounce that I could get that would make my life have a little more quality. I know this team of three. Will provide only 100% professional care for me. And I feel comfortable that I could say they would do the same for their other patients.

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.
