I am an educated woman and the more information somebody gives me the better. I feel that the choice that I have made will be the best one, and Ashley was wonderful and on point with all her information and gave me alternatives and explain the pros and cons of everything and explained every procedure she was doing to me. She is a wonderful PA and hopefully she goes on to be a surgeon because she certainly would be my choice to be my surgeon. I would recommend her anytime to anyone that had knee issues.

Disclosures

Ashley Okigawa, PA-C 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.
