I was fortunate enough to seeing Kat back in October for PPD. I was at my lowest, and everyday felt like a challenge. Now, just a few months later I feel like my normal self again. Kat listens carefully and addresses each concern/issue with the right approach. The medications she has put me on have helped my anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Kat also is helpful with recommendations and resources. She takes her time to look into mom & baby groups, formulas, and other doctors for me. It's evident she truly cares about her patients.

I had many a doctors treat me, but she is the Best. When I walk into her office, I'm feeling down and depressed and walk out of her office feeling a heck of a lot better. She is definitely an understanding and caring doctor and I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

I've seen Dr. Kathleen since about 2020/2021 and she's be so amazing and caring. I left for 2 years because of a move out of state, and decided to come back to her when I moved back.

Kat is absolutely the BEST! I have had a rough road to navigate, and I couldn't have done it without Kat's help, compassion, and belief in me. She is very understanding and knowledgeable about different medications, and she takes the time to explain/discuss all options. She listens and genuinely cares! A "10" score doesn't do her justice!!!

Disclosures

Kathleen Escalona, APRN 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.
