Dr. Lemke is kind with incredible bedside manner. She is undeniably knowledgeable and extremely personable. She’s been seeing my son since he was barely a week old and I have always trusted her medical advice and have been impressed with the services she provides.

She was great with my son. Parents worse nightmare to have a child with a broken bone and she was very empathetic caring and sensitive with him helping to calm his nerves. She made conversation with him the entire time to take his mind of what was going on. I would highly recommend her.

Disclosures

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.
