Dr. Kalal was fantastic, I am so happy to have found her! I was very nervous about seeing a new doctor because I struggle with my weight, and I have been made to feel ashamed about it in the past. Dr. Kalal treated me with kindness and respect, making a plan with me, and assuring me I could contact her through the portal at any time. It was such an unexpected, positive experience and I can’t tell you how much that means to me. I can’t wait to recommend her to my friends.

Disclosures

Collette W. Kalal, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

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.
