5.0 star star star star starFrom my membranous nephropathy diagnosis a decade ago through each succeeding annual appointment (most recently yesterday), Dr. Ghossein has earned by fullest respect, gratitude, and admiration. She has always been fully focused--first on identifying my (apparently initially challenging) condition, and since then on my responding to my questions and concerns during each annual appointment, and occasionally via MyChart. Yesterday's appointment was more consequential than most: my PCP and dermatologist (via biopsy earlier this month) have previously suggested that my decades-old body rashes (2x/yr or more) were most likely "drug eruptions," but Dr. Ghossein indicated that P-Anca (identified during my 2015 NM biopsy) could indeed have caused these from the start, and would naturally have done so intermittently. She also referred me to her medical dermatologist colleague, Dr. Brieva, with whom I've now scheduled an appointment.

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.
