Dr Karas is very approachable and listens to her patients ideas. I worked with Dr Karas to implement my insulin pump solution. We talked about both the negatives/positives of utilizing an insulin pump. Today, my A1c is 5.7! Couldn't of done it without her guidance.

Has not ever been very open to any of my concerns, very hard to work with. Rather then being willing to work with me and my team of medical providers to develop a well thought plan to address any of my care she comes across annoyed and judgmental when I ask questions or try to develop a plan that not only works best for me but that I have a clear understanding of from a professional medical perspective that I would look to her to provide.

Tiffany A. Karas, 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.
