I've finally found an OBGYN who makes me feel herd and takes my health as seriously as I do. I know she is busy, but I never get the sense of feeling rushed during our appointments like I have with other doctors. She listens and makes sure all my questions/concerns are covered before moving on. 10/10 would highly recommend!

Dr. Nosal is just fabulous—she listens to all my concerns, asks pertinent questions, calms me down when I spiral, and is so knowledgeable about all aspects of OBGYN. Her caring touch and sweet concern makes me feel so comfortable and welcome and I don’t feel bad for asking (what I think are) stupid questions.

Disclosures

Catherine A. Nosal, 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.
