I am always recommending Dr Yi. She provides such a supportive presence, as if she's always known you. She always will make every effort to provide the latest information regarding my concerns and will fully run test and check blood work before prescribing a new medication or treatment.

I continue to be so thankful to the corporate office for encouraging the patients to express their feelings about the services they receive from the medical staff. It takes me back to remember sincere expressions by great men as one of them a famous retired US Navy Admiral said, that â€œThe critical issue is not what we know but what we do with what we knowâ€. Dr Yi certainly falls in this same category because of her remarkable dedication to do her very best in servicing the needs of her patients. All my experiences with Dr. Yi and her staff have been nothing less than outstanding.

Disclosures

Catherine J. Yi, 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. 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.
