Dr. Karas is one of NM's (very few) outstanding physicians. Every time I see her, she spends enough time with me to ensure that we cover everything in a way I can understand. She not only cares for your endocrinology needs, but she also addresses your entire well-being, including mental health. If you need something and she can't help on demand, she will do everything she can to direct you to the right person. She goes above and beyond in every aspect of her care. She should be recognized for her exceptional care for making her patients and NM "better".

Dr. Karas is one of the best physicians I've ever met and had the pleasure to be a patient of. I appreciate her dedication to providing gender-affirming care to transgender and non-binary individuals. I also appreciate the fact that she takes her time with me. She goes above and beyond to make sure that I am good overall as a human and not just the one body part or body system that the appointment is for. I can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and appreciates getting to know them on a more personal level and not just the next patient on the schedule. To Dr. Karas you are a person, not a number. The world needs more people like Dr. Karas and NM is sure lucky to have her as a provider to their patients. She truly makes NM "better". Forever grateful our paths crossed.

Disclosures

Tiffany A. Karas, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

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.
