She is exceptional with her care of patients. I was her first patient of the day and I was told she was doing emergency surgery. I waited and when she got there she picked up as if no emergency even called her away. She didn't skip a beat. Took all the time I needed even though she was now behind schedule. So professional and kind.

I had seen another ENT and they were fine but decided to get another opinion. I wasn't thrilled when Dr. Bolduan told me she was going to have to do another one of those Scopes down my nose but she assured me that she was more qualified because she had done a fellowship and this was her specialty. I joke with her that my expectations were high. She also asked me to watch the procedure which I thought was weird but it actually did help calm me down. And I literally had almost no discomfort when she did the scoping procedure. I I'm glad that I got a second opinion and I feel very confident that I have the right course of treatment.

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.

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.
