Amazing Dr with fantastic bedside manners. There is a lot of ego in that division. Not her. As my first screen, she explained the procedure and made me feel very comfortable.

Although she didn't hold my hand, she treated me with so much empathy as she explained my colonoscopy step by step. I was especially impressed that she took the time to explain the blood issues because I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Disclosures

M. Rosario Ferreira, MD 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.
