Dr. Elaraj is wonderful. She is exceptionally knowledgable but never condescending- she explains clearly, answers questions without rushing and respectfully includes the patient in formulating a treatment plan. She took the time to carefully review a long history of thyroid scans and tests from another facility and formulate a meaningful chronology and evidence based calculations to assist in determining treatment. Dr. Elaraj's thoughtful, caring and thorough approach made me wish we could clone her for every field of medicine. What a gem!

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. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
