I have had previous doctors. NORTHWEST provide excellence in allowing to choose doctors that meet my needs. I am a happy patient. A lot of it depends on the patient taking the advice and making it a part of their daily schedule. Dr. Burrell is soft spoken yet has a world of knowledge to share. It behooves me to follow her directives.

She's very pleasant. She's trying to help me and work with me so we can figure out what's wrong. And she's not trying to treat me like I'm stupid and I don't know anything. She respects the fact that I know what's going on with my body as well.

Disclosures

Barbara F. Burrell, MD 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. 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.
