My surgery went very well. I am quite pleased with my restored physical status. I had a stage 3 prolapse and surgical intervention to restore my internal structure. I had almost no post operative pain, no bleeding, and very little swelling. Healing was steady and I feel great! She answered all my (many) questions and is clearly very skilled and confident. I had put off surgery for many years and getting "my life" back is a huge blessing. I really can not say enough good things.

Julia Geynisman-Tan, 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.
