In the couple months I've been her patient, my experience with Dr. Dolan has been exceptional. I had been disappointed with my previous internist (not part of NW) and decided to try a concierge doctor. I have not been disappointed. Dr. Dolan has taken time to patiently listen to my health concerns, discuss them with me, and recommend courses of action including specialized tests as well as health-related improvements I could make in my personal life. I couldn't be more pleased.

Dr. Dolan has always been a dedicated professional,very knowledgeable and caring, however, Concierge Medicine has allowed her to interact with her patients in a less restrictive manner which is often mandated by a more conscripted environment. Services are on site and administered by a committed staff. The added benefit is well worth the price. Again, Thank you!

I liked having an interview before we agreed to be doctor/patient. The cost of the concierge relationship is reasonable. Dr. Dolan has a warm personality and seems to really care about my health. She seems very knowledgeable about how to best proceed addressing my particular medical issues. At my first physical exam, she spent a lot of time with me and was very attentive to my particular situation. The office was pristine. Dr. Dolan quickly followed up with me on test results and prescription needs. I also liked the friendly staff/assistants. So far, this has been everything I was looking for in an internist.

Dr. Dolan came highly recommended by one of her patients, a fellow physician under her care. I was initially very skeptical of the concierge service: it is a 2-class system with the delivery of health care service. But I cannot help but marvel at the speed of such a service in securing the kind of care I needed.

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.
