5.0 star star star star starI have complete confidence in Dr. Lee. I was referred to her by Dr. Jayesh Mehta. She goes the extra mile for me as a patient, including consulting and collaborating with my other physicians. Dr. Lee follows up with what she says she is going to do. She believes me and respects me as the expert on myself.

5.0 star star star star starMy appointment with Dr. Yvonne Lee was my first visit to a rheumatologist. Dr. Lee gave me a thorough exam for my painful shoulder problem, studied my x-rays carefully, was kind and patient in explaining aspects of the problem in a way that I could understand, and gave me a comprehensive diagnosis and wise advice. I would highly recommend Dr. Yvonne Lee and Northwestern Memorial Hospital. I also very much appreciate all the efforts of Dr. Lee, her Assistant and the Hospital in protecting patients concerning COVID-19.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Lee has not been my doctor long but she is on top of things. She went through my extensive file and identified another chronic illness that no one had mentioned or tested for. She listens well, works with me and her suggestions are not outrageous. She definitely cares about me and helping me manage my illnesses.

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.
