She Thoroughly explains in detail that anyone can understand. She explains what is happening, why, how and listens to patients and reassures. She even stayed late with me to make sure I didn’t have a reaction to the shot I received. I kept telling doc I have had the shot before I’m fine I wont have a reaction. She insisted on making sure each patient is able to make it home safe

She spends the time you need, and like ALL of the Northwestern staff, isn't 'passive' on healthcare needs. I came to Northwestern because I felt like my Advocate doctors were there to collection some form of 'points' to get visits. More points for more people visiting. Everyone, including Dr. Steiman, I never feel rushed and I feel like it's an integrative approach to healthcare. Just don't stop this. NO clue if its like this downtown (relatives have said NWM is highly competent downtown, but also like working with robots... Not my experience, but I hope it's not the case). Glenview is awesome.

Disclosures

Cheryl A. Steiman, 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.
