Sarah has been so professional and so nice for all of my visits and correspondence through MyNM. She went above and beyond to try to lower the costs for the DNA testing and was successful! Starting today, I will be mostly under the care of Dr [ ] and his team so I will only see Sarah every three months for my [RX] injection and follow up. Sarah's concern and personal approach is one of the reasons that I am so grateful to be under the care of my Northwestern team

Disclosures

Sarah E. Traverso, PA-C reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

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.
