Dr Vassallo is unbelievably awesome. She is incredible knowledgeable and was interested in me as a unique patient. She was incredibly efficient and understood what I was trying to do in managing my health. She took what I doing with Garmin fitness products and Apple Watch and had great ideas about what to do and not to do as being too over the top. She reviewed my medications and made some changes that will yield slightly better results while reducing side effects. I have some modest heart disease that she explained in a candid, factual matter. My brother went to her for a heart condition several years ago before and he received great care. NWM should clone her for the good of humanity.

Disclosures

Patricia Vassallo, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

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.
