Melissa was helpful and informative. She was knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I would have appreciated some of her suggestions to be phrased as questions rather than assumptions particularly as it relates to brca. Itâ€™s a sensitive topic that is also expensive and itâ€™s hard when it feels like a doctor is only considering one avenue

Melissa took excellent care of me during my procedure yesterday. These moments are difficult for me due to my medical history, so having her explain each step kept me calm throughout the procedure. Had less symptoms after too which Iâ€™m so grateful.

Melissa was very helpful, informative, and friendly. However, as a Telehealth appointment with her was my first interaction with the NW fertility clinic, I wish she had been a shown a bit more professionalism in a couple areas: I did not receive the Zoom link to log in to my Telehealth appointment until 1 minute after the appointment was supposed to start, and therefore 5 minutes before the appointment started was frantically trying to call the clinic to figure out how to access my appointment. Additionally, I wish she had a bit more professional Zoom setup for her Telehealth meetings. Blurring her background would have been sufficient, but I could see a lot of clutter and plastic bags and cleaning supplies on the counter behind her and it felt very strange and distracting. I also wish she had put the computer on a table or a desk instead of holding it close to her face because it was extremely zoomed in and either the bottom or top of her face was cut off for the whole call.

Melissa took her time and explained each part of the two procedures. One of the orders was missing for one of the procedures so I had to ask. Thatâ€™s why I didnâ€™t score a 10.

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.
