Christine is the most outstanding wonderful caring human being I think I have ever known. She is more than a nurse practitioner, I consider her a doctor in my eyes and I have never had anyone that was in control of my health more caring and loving and just a wonderful wonderful person. If I would have to drive to another state for my visit with her I would surely do that that. That is how much this woman means to me and how much I trust her with my care. She is worth far more than 10 stars. She is absolutely God sent in my eyes. I can't speak highly enough of her. I think she's absolutely fantastic.

Disclosures

Christine C. Hepperlen, APRN 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.
