Melissa is an extremely caring PA-C who listens to my concerns, takes time to answer all my questions, explains what she is going to do and why. She takes as much time as necessary with me and I never feel as if I am being rushed. She is very patient with me and I feel she is concerned with me as a person and not just someone on an assembly line. I feel she is the best medical professional I have dealt with at NW in the over 30 years I have been going there.

Disclosures

Melissa M. Longman, PA-C reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2025.

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.
