My doctor retired so I have been seeing numerous doctors while I wait to see the doctor that will become my primary doctor in March 2026. I am so glad that I end up with Dr. Pearson for my last three visits. She is so accommodating and pleasant. Listen to my concerns and address them accordingly. I wish I could have her as my primary which I strongly expressed to her. She's patient and she listens to me and she discussed not tell me what's her professional opinion is.

Dr. Pearson is superb. She asks necessary questions, listens to the patient's answers and thoroughly discusses the findings of tests. She orders more if they are truly needed. I trust her completely to follow up on today's visit and make appropriate recommendations that I will certainly follow. I will ask to have the opportunity to be seen by Dr. Pearson on other visits to Northwestern Internists whenever Dr. Sepe is unavailable.

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.
