5.0 star star star star starShe is very good, thorough, explains the possible causes and remedies. Also explained how to use the medicine correctly which I was doing incorrectly in the past. Dr. Russell is a great asset to NM and the community.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Russell has an extensive knowledge of Sarcoidosis and I spent 1-1/2 years being "shuffled" around from doctor to doctor who couldn't help. Dr. Russell is an expert and I praise God that she has taken my case.

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.
