I had a Tele-visit & it went well. Dr Esch listens well, asks good questions, has insight(s) & knew exactly what I needed to feel better. She’s not only very smart but is also genuinely interested in my wellness. Never minimizes my concerns. As a result of her care plan, the effects of my sinus infection began dissipating within 24 hrs! This level of care is consistent with her.

Disclosures

Lindsay M. Esch, 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.
