We have not vetted this clinician.
We hold this record from the federal NPI registry, the public list of everyone licensed to bill for care in the United States. It tells us their name, their specialty and where they practice. That is all it tells us, and it is all you see here.
It does not mean anything is wrong with this clinician. It means we have not checked their license status, whether they follow the guidelines, whether they sell supplements or compounded drugs, or what they say in public. That check is what separates the 1,688 clinicians we do list from the rest of the registry.
Asking puts them in the queue to be checked. We list a clinician only if they pass, and we never say why someone did not.
Cardiologist practicing in the Chicago area with hospital affiliations including Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital and NorthShore University HealthSystem Evanston Hospital, who earned his medical degree from Wayne State University School of Medicine and completed a cardiovascular disease fellowship at Rush University Medical Center.

Worth knowing
- A WebMD profile states that an Illinois medical license associated with this physician shows as 'expired' with a listed date of 2026; this appears to be an administrative license-status notation rather than evidence of disciplinary action, and has not been independently confirmed against the Illinois state license lookup. doctor.webmd.com
- Board certification status through the American Board of Medical Specialties was not clearly confirmed in the sources reviewed and would need to be checked directly with the ABMS certification lookup. doximity.com

A word of caution about these numbers
A payment does not mean your doctor is compromised or acting unethically. Most of these entries are drug samples left for patients, or lunch brought in for the office staff, and the amounts are usually small. Research funding and speaking at medical meetings are also normal parts of a clinical career.
As a rough guide, a total under $15,000 a year is usually not a concern. Much larger sums, especially from one company whose product your doctor recommends to you, are worth asking about. You are allowed to ask.
