Read above comment. She also took the time to research my past A1C and blood sugar level to determine why I was having such difficulty loosing weight. My prior physician had access to the same information but failed to diagnose that I was a type II diabetic, thathad been going on quite a long time. I have since Dr Patel's diagnosis and treatment regimen lost 58lbs and still loosing weight. Plus the best part is I'm no longer diabetic.

Disclosures

Rutuja Desai Patel, DO 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.
