5.0 star star star star starDr Barber is a fantastic listener- she answered all of our questions. She is really up on the latest studies- there wasnt anything we asked her that she dont have an answer for- I felt like I was her only patient!

5.0 star star star star starShe has a take-charge attitude that instills confidence immediately, literally in the first 2 seconds. That's rare in a dr.!! I didn't get that from the 2nd opinion I met before her (it was really more a practice run as much as it was a 2nd opinion). She was fast and efficient but I never felt rushed or that she didn't care. She didn't mess around--do surgery right away. Get the cancer out.

5.0 star star star star starShe described the surgical procedure and my recovery time and the activities that I would be able to do post surgery and she was on point. She calmed my fears and was very patient and not judgemental.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Barber and her team are amazing. They take the time to answer all my questions and explain everything to me. I left the office today with my mind very much at ease. I love that they let me know if I need anything to reach out to them. This is very comforting.
Disclosures
Emma L. Barber, 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.
