Claire was so thoughtful, supportive, and extremely helpful at our first appointment with our newborn! Christa on her team was amazing as well- you can tell they both care deeply about helping parents raise healthy babies.

Claire has been our pediatrician for over nine years, since our first child was born. Even after we moved an hour away shortly after having our second, we still make the drive just to see her. She's patient, kind, and honest _ and what's meant the most to us is how supportive she's always been of my extended breastfeeding journey.

Claire H. Rathnau-Minnella, APRN 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. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
