The follow up visits with Alicia have been very good. She told me about everything that could possibly come up as my rehab progresses & to make sure I continue with my exercises at home even after therapy is done. She's been very helpful.

Alicia Lew was very professional & she said she was in the room the day of the surgery. So She saw the whole surgery. I had a lot of questions for her today & was given answers to all of them in detail. She also recommended a few things for me to do during my recovery/therapy time. I will be back to see her next month.

Excellent example of a PA-C. I went to a PA program the first class at Cook County Hospital with one year left to complete, but due to unforeseen circumstances I had to stop (1988). I am a retired Cath Angio Tech. With all that I stated above, I am extremely familiar of medical teams departments and top rated Medical Centers.

Alicia Lew is a superb professional. When I think of her I run out of adjectives to describe just how much she is patient centered. She is very thorough and provided important information about my status and what I can expect in the weeks and months to come. She is also extremely encouraging, which is especially important to someone attempting to do all the right things after knee surgery. And she leaves no issue uncovered. I could not have hoped for a better physician assistant than she. On this visit kudos to the. X-ray technician.

Disclosures

Alicia Lew, 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.
