Deb listens and makes a plan together. She shares her ideas to improve my health and asks what I think of them. She’s very easy to talk to which is something I’ve never experienced before. I’m grateful for her.

She listens! I feel comfortable talking to her…..but yet very hesitant since I have a deductible and am charged by each topic we discuss! This is no reflection on Deborah, but in bad policy by NWM!

Knowing how busy her schedule is right now she did not let that affect her interactions with me as a patient. It was the first time I had seen her for transfer of care but have been having some health concerns. She took the time to look back at old tests that were ordered, results, mychart messages. She was very thorough, allowed me time to talk and fully explain what was going on with me which was really refreshing. She also really wanted to figure out what was wrong. I think she is a great practitioner and have already shared that with family. I hope she stays at NW for a long 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. 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.
