I highly recommend Mikayla Kaufenberg to anyone seeking orthopedic care. She is not only extremely knowledgeable in the field but also genuinely caring and compassionate. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt heard and respected. She took the time to listen to all my concerns, explained my condition and treatment options thoroughly, and made sure I felt comfortable with the next steps. It's rare to find a provider who balances clinical expertise with such a personal, attentive approach. I'm truly grateful for the care I received ,

Mikayla Kaufenberg, 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.
