Dr Pearson took the time to fully understand my issues before looking for solutions. She comes across as caring and wanting to help find first the root cause of the issue and second the appropriate solution. I think having physicians such as Dr Pearson on staff significantly speeds up the time it takes to get an appointment and enables you to see a very experienced physician. She also took the time to fully understand the issue before suggesting solutions. Whoever came up with this solution was brilliant!

Disclosures

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.
