Shelly Bauer is very professional in every aspect of her services. During my visit, she was well prepared for the follow up to my recent hospitalization. She reviewed my test, requested further information from the neurologist regarding possible incomplete information on a test with regards to medical procedures. She checked my recovery from suspected TIA by having me demonstrate strength, looked for vision concerns. She reviewed blood , MRI, and other test results taken during my hospitalization. She is knowledgeable, though, and empathic.

Disclosures

Shelly A. Bauer, APRN reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2025.

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.
