I simply can not say enough positive things about Dr. Kunreuther. She always provides excellent, compassionate, professional care. I always feel like she sees me as a person as well as a patient. She is cognizant of the importance and quality of life in our treatment discussions. She also takes an interest in what my other doctors are doing and why they chose a course of action. She wants to understand the big picture so that she can help me in my endocrinology needs. A superb physician.

Disclosures

Elizabeth P. Kunreuther, 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.
