5.0 star star star star starShe is Awesome! She is wonderful! … everything about her is perfect, she was very kind, professional, she spent time for my hand pain and explained in detail, she really did care for me and walked with me to the other room for my hand brace. She was just like myself and reminded myself how I did care for my patients when I was practicing back in the country where I was born and for every each patient I treated with highest care and responsibility! I hope Northwestern hire more doctors like Dr. Shum! GOD BLESS HER??????

5.0 star star star star starOn each of my visits Dr. Shum has personally taken her time to come in and exam my hand and not taken the word of others ( nurses, physician assistance, interns, or residence) who might not have as much experience. She has correctly diagnosed and treat each condition.

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.
