Dr. Catching is an anomaly in meh experience in NW Medicine. She comes to the appointment and it is clear she has reviewed your history. In the appointment, she is patient, she takes time to listen without any distractions, and is firm and direct in her feedback yet kind. I appreciate that she takes the time to fully explain things in a thorough manner. She is warm and genuine and is just a fantastic physician. Upon returning home after my appointment, I told my husband that if it was possible to like going to the dr. Then it would be because you saw her. On top of that her office staff is professional, genuinely try to help, and always get back with you. Kim was fantastic also! Very personable and attentive to you and her work. Sadly, this is not my routine experience with other doctors so I hope that really shows the strength of this feedback.

Disclosures

Karen C. Catching, MD 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.
