Alison Bates is a breath of fresh air- she was extremely thorough in my follow up visit and treated me like a person and not a number. There has been additional follow up to get my pain under control and she even called me at 7:45 pm to fill me in on her discussion with Dr [name] and other treatment options they had. She also validated for me the pain I was experiencing. She is also extremely accessible which is comforting to know when healing from such a major surgery at home.

Disclosures

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.
