She was seeing me for a follow up with a referral to neurosurgery. I brought up another issue that was acute and a bit more urgent at that visit. She and her nurse were both AWESOME and easily saw me for that issue. I hated to bring it up but was getting desperate. I really appreciate them easily working in the second issue and getting me all taken care of!

Today I had my first appointment with Kelsey Peifer, and I was very pleased and impressed. She replaced my (now retired doctor who I (and we) had been going to for about 40 years. Kelsey Peifer was very welcoming, and very knowledgeable, and answered all my questions completely. I look forward to working with her for many years to come.

Kelsey has been thoughtful, thorough, and she is great to talk to, although she does need to be sure she doesn't rush through everything. I'm sure she is extremely busy, but I was still asking a question or two as she was heading out the door. Because we were so rushed I still had a couple of questions that I didn't get a chance to ask.

Disclosures

Kelsey Peifer, APRN reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2025.

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.
