She doesn’t miss a trick. Always on top of the situation and has your best interests in mind. She is very mindful of where in the process we are and always making sure we are aware of our options. I always feel we are in good hands with her. I would like to mention that we also had a short interview with Diana. Wow! Another great employee of Northwestern Hospital who has your best interests in mind. What really impresses me is that while they have their computer open, they are asking question after question without referring back to the computer. They then turn and enter your answers as the process continues. They all are excellent listeners and people persons. It’s just what the patient needs and is expecting from a wonderful organization.

Lauren nis extremely knowledgeable about spinal cord stimulation provided by Dr Rosenow. She answered every question without hesitation regarding neuromodulation. She never hesitated with a response regarding chronic pain but was unfamiliar specifically with my type of diagnosis. She represented the department & Boston Scientific very well. I was under the wrong impression that Dr Rosenow would be my pain management physician & she would be a team member. However, they will be part of the implant team, along with BS’s representatives when I decide to accept spinal cord stimulation. It would be a pleasure to put my trust in Lauren & Dr Rosenow’s surgical team at that time.

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.
