I have been seeing her for years and I know how busy she is, but Dr. Saltoun accommodated my request of seeing her sooner. She had a busy morning, but it did not stop her from getting me from the waiting room rather than waiting for her staff to do so. This is a testament of her great character. She is simply the BEST!

I am truly delighted with Dr. Carol Saltoun as my new provider (after the retirement of Dr. Greenberger). I think she is knowledgeable and kind. She is psychologically aware as well, something often too rare in doctors. She was extremely helpful to me today during our telehealth visit, helping me to estimate the risk to me of being on a ten hour plane flight over the ocean when I could not access hospital care if I had an anaphylaxis event. As a result of her information gathering, problem solving and good advice I have decided it is safe to go, or safe enough that I will do it, carrying my four epi-pens and hoping for the best. Bravo for her!

Dr. Saltoun evaluated my situation from information I told the other doctor about abd from my primary care doctor's notes along with the pictures I showed her of my swollen lip and torso trunk hives and effectively explained what could be and what was not likely the trigger. She prescribed antihistamines and explained how often I should take them. The other doctor recommended that u get off of the Benedrex for my stuffy nose allergies and recommended Flonex because the Benedrex had ingredients that are not the best for my blood pressure and may also be addictive with a rebound affect

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.
