Dr Rakocevic is by far the best psychiatrist I have ever seen, in my 20 years of receiving psychiatric care. She is kind and validating (traits that far too many psychiatrists are missing, unfortunately), and truly listens. She is an incredibly intelligent doctor who knows her stuff! I feel incredibly blessed to have found her and I feel more hopeful in general as well. She is clearly a trauma-informed doctor, which is so important in the field of mental health (especially when working with survivors of gender-based violence, like myself)... it's too bad that isn't an industry standard. I feel that I receive the very best possible care with her. Thank you, Dr Rakocevic!!!

Daniela B. Rakocevic, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

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.
