Dr. Bernardi is a caring and responsive doctor. She always listens and answers my questions clearly. I always feel good after talking to her. Her nurses are also great! I wish part of Northwestern’s standard of care involved more time and attention to the root causes of infertility for their patients.

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.

Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
