I have not had a doctor take the time to sit down and get to know me on my first patient visit like Dr Heo did today. It left an excellent first impression. She seemed to really care about my health history, she dug in deep to understand my family history and risk factors and advise me. Her exam was quick but thorough and she was on time which almost never happens. She even took time after the exam to sit and talk about our current families, stress levels regarding work and parenting balance, and our kids' futures. I truly appreciated her time and sincerity in this because getting to know a new doctor can be challenging and impersonal, when you really want to feel connected to the person providing you important health advice and guidance. Thank you.

Disclosures

Lucy Heo, DO 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.
