5.0 star star star star starShe explained things clearly and given me options in care.even asking for blood text to determine if something else is going on in my body. I was impressed. Yes, I will recommend Dr.Flood to anyone.

5.0 star star star star starI had heard from my clients who recommended Dr Flood to me that other Doctors were good and efficient that they had seen before, but we're not exactly warm or bedside manner remote. Two of my clients had other Doctors and then Dr .Flood and would only see Dr. Flood in the future. As someone who deals with the public for decades, that recommendation was enough for me to request her and she and her assistants did not disappoint. She made me feel a connection with her that felt genuinely real..I felt a great deal of Trust which is important.

5.0 star star star star starShe takes a lot of time with me and checks thoroughly for skin cancer. I've already had melanoma and other cancers so this is very important. She explained everything clearly and took pictures of moles I should watch carefully, on my phone, with instructions to message her if I see anything suspicious. Plus she's extremely personable and kind.

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.
