I was really impressed by Dr. Verges's interest and commitment to providing quality care. I thought she would just pickup from where Dr. Capezio left off. Not the case. She took so much time understanding how my RA diagnosis began and the treatments since then. She scheduled blood tests and X-rays and talked about possible next steps, So while I was sorry to no longer have Dr. Capezio as my Rheumatologist, I am totally reassured that I will continue to have the highest possible level of care. Dr. Verges is fabulous!!!

Disclosures

Denise Verges, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2025.

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.
