After having the same physician for more than 20 years, I didn't think that I could find another physician that I would like as well. Dr. Bernicky took great time with me going over all of my medication's and was able to answer many questions.

She is absolutely great. I am 34 weeks pregnant went to the urgent care and they were unable to help me. She was able to fit me in at the end of her day to make sure that I was taken care of before the weekend. I ended up having a sinus infection and an earache. If she did not go out of her way to see me I don't know what I would have done.

Dr Bernicky is a great doctor! My doctor and my son's and husband's doctor retired. I first started seeing the dr, then my son and my husband has his first appointment with her in two days. She is very non judgmental and offers options for care. Most impressive is how responsive she is to messages through my chart or phone. If I message in the morning, I'll hear from someone later that day.

Disclosures

Autumn E. Bernicky, DO 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.
