I highly recommend Ashley. She got me in on short notice to see what was wrong with my knee. When MRI results came in, she squeezed me into her full schedule so I could get a cortisone shot before I left town in a few days. She went above and beyond ... not many people do that these days! She also explains everything so clearly and lays out options for you to consider.

Ashley Okigawa was incredibly helpful, answering all my questions thoroughly and outlining the available options. I was fortunate enough to get an immediate appointment with Dr. Froese for the injection due to a cancellation. This opportunity wouldn't have come my way if Ashley hadn't presented those options.

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.
