Dr Lima took the time to ask and answer questions. She was extremely knowledgeable and unlike many doctors she said she would take time to think about what treatment would work the best pending the outcome of additional testing. I think most doctors feel like they have to have all the answers at all times. She is thoughtful and thorough. Also, her nurse/MA is like a ray of sunshine.

Dr Lima was extremely thorough, even looking at X-rays after the radiologist did a report and deciding she saw something the radiologist didn't comment on. She was comprehensive and noticed my joint hypermobility without me saying anything and was confident in how she approached my diagnosis. I've never felt so seen and heard at a doctors appointment.

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.
