Dr. Paguia is outstanding. He spent a lot of time with me, listened to me, explained my case the best way anyone can understand (COVID), & answered my questions. He told me that he spoke with an accent and he talked fast, but his accent was not hard to understand at all. My mind is slower to understand most people these days, so I did appreciate the heads up that he can talk fast. Personally I don’t think he needs to even mention his accent to patients. (We all have accents.) Saying he can sometimes speak fast is saying enough. To be clear, it didn’t offend me that he mentioned his accent. It just made me a little sad that he felt he had to give other people a heads up that he had one. He’s a very kind, caring man and it shows. Excellent personality. Very upbeat and hopeful. Thank you, Dr. Paguia.

Disclosures

Richard Paguia, MD 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.
