Dr.Esrig is a wonderful physician. She's knowledgeable, thorough, patient and attentive to her patient. The clinic visits are never rushed. She makes sure her explanations are clear and you are able to understand. She includes you in your care and all questions are good questions. Has always been available and answered messages. If there is something needed, she has always made sure she took care of it. I have been with her quite a few years now and there has not been a times. She was not attentive to my needs.

Elyse T. Esrig, 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.
