Dr. Judy is the best pediatrician we have encountered, and we will NEVER switch to another one unless she retires. She is highly experienced with special needs/complex kiddos, and every single time I mention to anyone (especially other doctors from other hospitals or school staff members or therapists that work with my child), I hear the same amazing feedback about how awesome they all think Dr. Judy is as well. I am blown away by how well liked and highly talked about Dr. Judy is in the pediatric world.

Disclosures

Karen R. Judy, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

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.
