I have never found anyone quite as well versed in caring for terminally ill patients. She deals with each situation as required and gives individual attention to each patient, regardless of the situation!

Dr Twaddle took her time speaking with me about my progress in treatment. Body, mind, and even a little spirit when I took the conversation there. We planned a follow up in December and realized I was overdue for labs to be done. Highly recommend!

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.
