5.0 star star star star starTara takes her time with the patient and is very thorough clinically in understanding my side effects and solution recs. My sister came on one occasion and she said she thought she was the Physician because of her clinical throughness, Confidence and demeanor. I really needed her on the personal aspect because she took the time to understand my psychology during the journey and was very validating.

5.0 star star star star starMs. Henrikson is a good listener and consults with her supervising physician Dr. [last name] if necessary to address my concerns.

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.
