On our first visit, she took the time to go through my entire history and my full page of questions. She was compassionate, knowledgeable, and articulate. (And patient, because I had to have her repeat things a couple times to make sure I was getting them correctly for my personal notes. Although she put great ones in the portal, so I hardly needed to take any!). She gave me great directions and advice and I have been UTI free. I tried everything she suggested and have been well. I cannot even tell you how incredible this is to me, after going through months and months of discomfort, outright pain, and worry.

Disclosures

Rachel E. Shenfeld, 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.
