I Extremely liked Dr. Barbato, she is a caring doctor. She has a genuine desire to diagnose and treat illnesses. I strongly believe she has a deep desire to help other's through medicine and make a positive impact on her patients health by providing the best possible care. I felt empathy and compassion from her towards my daughter. I have never given a feedback on a doctor but for Dr. Barbato I had to.

We saw an other doctor at NM before Dr. Barbato and didn't like her as she didn't listen to our concerns. Then we met Dr. Barbato. She is the best pediatrician. She listened to all my concerns. Answers every thing. And goes beyond to make sure we know what's coming when the child gets sick so we don't freak out. Honestly she is amazing.

We are new patients. I brought my daughter in June and my son today. Both times she was so patient, listened, connected and shared similar experiences she's had with her own children. I felt so supported and could tell she truly cared. Our last pediatrician at Hinsdale Pediatrics was so cold and robotic. I would highly recommend Dr. Barbato to others!

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.
