Carlene was amazing. She took her time and answered every question I had. She had so much compassion, and she was just fun to have an appointment with that day. I felt like she took the time to be completely thorough and answer every question I had.

Carlene is a familiar face since I started my journey. I was emotionally drained when the visit began, she did a phenomenal job recognizing my frustration and walking through next steps for my treatment. Although the appointment was late, I did not feel rushed, thank you Carlene for your patience.

Disclosures

Carlene P. Porter, APRN reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2025.

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.
