Dr Murphy is very caring and calm. She gives useful information. She is very honest and explains what she can treat what type of tests and possible treatments I need. I have learned more from her in two appointments and what type of specialist I need. I wish I had seen her years ago. She listens and acknowledges what I am saying. I think having a doctor like her would have saved me years of pain, suffering and frustration.

Disclosures

Darby E. Murphy, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2023.

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.
