Dr. Bauer is a fantastic dermatologist and she has excellent staff as well. She quickly recognized and diagnosed my worrisome skin condition and prescribed the exact medication I needed for that. While there, she spotted another troubling issue and quickly helped me understand the problem and set me up with the correct medication for it. She even made sure that I understood how to correctly use the medications I was prescribed today. My time spent with her was short, but she cared about me, listened well, and responded to concerns and explained things in a way that was easily understandable so that I left very confident that I was going to get better. I was very well taken care of.

Kimberly A. Bauer, MD 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.
