Dr. Mathew has a remarkable ability to balance clinical expertise with genuine empathy. She explained everything clearly and thoroughly, never rushed the conversation, and made sure I felt confident in the plan moving forward. You can tell she truly cares about her patients_not just treating a condition, but making sure you leave the appointment feeling better, both physically and emotionally. It's rare to come across a doctor who is so thorough, kind, and patient-centered. I feel incredibly grateful to have been under her care and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

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.

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.
