Have you met Isabel? SHE IS TOTALLY AWESOME! Isabel is always on top of her game. She is always prepared for my appointments. She is positive, encouraging, and bursting with so much joy - her joy is infectious and very positive. She is also very responsive to mychart messages and prescription refill requests... and knowledgeable and loves to share her knowledge with me.

Loved my visit with Dr. Isabel Shen today! She is extremely detailed in her approach to each part of the doctors visit_from analyzing my blood sugars to checking on other ailing parts of my body that caused concern. Overall, she provided objective feedback and shows genuine care as I am navigating the ups and downs of Type 1 diabetes.

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.
