5.0 star star star star starDr. Smith was very flexible to accept me as patient for the first time, to see me next day after my request, check me out with competence, decided quickly on a follow up CT test, and responded without delay to my clinical questions through my chart. In addition, the interaction with her was pleasant, not rushed. NM can be happy to have a physician like Dr. Smith. Joachim Spiess, MD, PhD

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.
